(AP)  Jurors in Britney Spears' driving case say they can't reach a unanimous verdict. A judge has ordered the panel to resume deliberations.

The jury deliberated less than two hours Monday at a San Fernando Valley courthouse. They posed two questions, including one that sought to clarify what Spears was charged with.

Shortly after being read more instructions, jurors indicated they were deadlocked.

The eight women and four men are sifting through roughly a day's worth of testimony and arguments in the case, which was filed last year after the pop star hit a parked car and left the scene.

Spears hasn't appeared in court and didn't testify during the trial.

The jury deliberated for a little more than two hours Friday.

LOL this is Calipornia at its Best. Either someone saw this occur or they didn''t. Either the paint samples match or they don''t. This ain''t no OJ trial here. I think the jury is just digging on a free lunch and a paid vacation from work.

I cannot believe California would waste taxpayer''s money on something as stupid as this. I live in Iowa and I thought we were bad at wasting money. Only in America....

You have got to be kidding me. Only in California could a jury not be able to reach a decision in a traffic case. Why don%u2019t we just move all trials to Nevada?

Britney is a mixed bag of things: tragic, hilarious, dumb as a post, smart, ***, out of touch, etc etc.

Why does this story matter? I just let a massive *** that could be more newsworthy.

With that that said, I''m glad her dad is getting this girl back into some semblance of normal.
