Hip-hop star DMX is yet again in trouble over traffic violations. The rapper, real name Earl Simmons, was stopped on Friday afternoon whilst driving his 2001 Chevy through the White Plains area, because he was apparently travelling at unreasonable speeds and making hazardous lane changes. Once stopped by police, it was discovered that he was not using a seatbelt and was not in possession of a driver's licence. Simmons was given a ticket and told to report to court on 16 Jun.
As you will remember, DMX is developing an increasing inability to travel anywhere without getting the police involved. Last year he served 70 days in prison after that incident when he crashed into a gate at Kennedy International Airport and in doing so broke the conditions of his parole, conditions relating to previous traffic violations. Subsequent incidents saw the star crashing his vehicle into a police car in the Bronx, and most recently being cautioned by British police after becoming abusive whilst travelling on a flight from New York to London.
