No License, No Problem

Texas teen trades her car for a Barbie Jeep after her license got suspended. Huffington Post reports the University of Texas Austin student Tara Monroe is now a campus-wide celebrity for driving around in her Barbie Jeep. Monroe felt the jeep was a better option than riding a bike around campus. Monroe says, "It goes pretty fast when it’s just me, so I usually make them (her friends) walk behind me like parents taking their kid out to play." 

The jeep's speed goes up to 5mph.

Some people ride bikes or public transit when their licenses are suspended, but one battery-powered Barbie Jeep-riding Texas State student is not allowing a DWI arrest stop her from getting around on her own four wheels. Photo: Provided By Tara Monroe
