Amanda Bynes gets her driver's licence back... after losing it in 2012 following hit-and-run and DUI charges
She lost her driver's licence in 2012 following two hit-and-run charges and a driving under the influence DUI arrest.
But Amanda Bynes' suspension has been lifted and the Easy A actress was spotted driving with her father Rick in Los Angeles on Sunday, according to People, which also accessed DMV records revealing Amanda has gotten her licence back.
It's yet another sign that the once troubled actress - who was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold in December after months of erratic behaviour which ended when she set a fire in a neighbour's driveway in Thousand Oaks, California - is getting her life back on track.

The Hairspray actress reached a plea deal in her DUI case in February after her lawyer managed to get the charges from 2012 dropped so she could plead no contest to a lesser charge of alcohol-related reckless driving.
Although Amanda escaped jail and a fine, she was placed on three years probation and ordered to attend three months of alcohol education classes.
Amanda completed her psychiatric treatment in December following a series of public outbursts and recently asked her lawyer, Tamar Arminak, to shoot down rumours claiming she suffers from the mental disorder schizophrenia.
Speaking to People magazine, Mr Arminak said: 'There has been much speculation about Amanda's medical condition. She has remained silent because she believed it was best to keep her mental health diagnosis private.

'However, she asked me to dispel certain rumours. For the record, Amanda does not have schizophrenia, nor has she ever been diagnosed with it.'
The attorney also claims the 28-year-old star, who chucked a marijuana bong out the window of her apartment in New York City last May, has never abused drugs or alcohol and she quit cannabis nine months ago.
He explained: 'She's devoted to living her life as healthy as possible. She's never had a history of abusing alcohol or hard drugs, and she's proud to say she's been marijuana-free for the past nine months.'
The former child star, who was arrested last July after setting a small fire outside an elderly woman's home, is now trying to rebuild her life and has become a student at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM).
A source said previously: 'She's a great student who always participated and really cared about her classes. She really fit in and loves her school.'
Amanda is currently under the legal control of her mother Lynne.
Concern: Amanda caused concerned last year with a series of bizarre tweets and strange behaviour, ending when she tried to set a driveway on fire
