The pap press corps screeched to a halt late yesterday afternoon as Britney frantically tried to get her bearings after nearly running off the road.

Initially, the pop princess seemed a bit scared, but she got it together to make her way safely through the throng of photogs.

Of course, she had a little help from a new pap friend - and judging by the guy's wide-eyed smile, he was more than happy to lend a hand!
