Driver Claims Kendall Jenner Nearly Killed Her, 'She Was Texting And Driving!'
Aug. 16 2012, Published 12:10 p.m. ET
Kendall Jenner has only been driving for nine months but already she is being slammed for being dangerous behind the wheel.
The 16-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is allegedly such a bad driver that one witness claims to have been almost forced off the road by Kim's little sister, the new issue of Star magazine exclusively reveals.
“The car was all over the lane. I thought the driver was intoxicated!” a concerned Los Angeles commuter told Star. “When I pulled up alongside her car, I realized it was Kendall Jenner. She was texting and driving!”
The startled witness claims to have been nearly sideswiped by Kendall’s $90,000 black Range Rover, which as RadarOnline.com previously reported, was a sweet sixteen birthday gift she received from her parents, Bruce and Kris Jenner.
“I was trying to get off the freeway, and I couldn’t merge into the right lane because (Kendall) wasn’t paying attention and her car would have drifted into mine," they revealed.
While Jenner didn't caused an accident, she did break a serious traffic law as texting and driving is prohibited in California, and because of the Vehicle Code 23124, drivers under 18 aren't even allowed to use a cell phone with a hands-free device.
Getting busted for her infraction didn't seem to bother the teenage reality star. "When she realized we were taking pictures of her, she gave me a dirty look but continued texting, laughing with her friends in the car," said the other driver.
Kendall clearly follows in her sisters' footsteps on the road as well as in front of the camera. Kim has been ticketed for speeding in a school zone and for driving with tinted windows, while Khloe was arrested in 2007 for DUI and ordered to serve 36 months on probation.
For the full story, the new issue of Star magazine is on newsstands Thursday.
