"Hannah Montana" behind the wheel

LOS ANGELES (AP) - November 7, 2008

There's a crowd in the car as Miley Cyrus learns to drive.

Emily Osment, who plays Miley's best friend in "Hannah Montana," says every once in a while she'll see Miley "pull out in a bright yellow, like taxicab-looking driver-instructor car."

And, the car is packed.

Emily says Miley has "the driver instructor in the back, and her bodyguard and her teacher, Steve, and everybody's in the car with her."

Her bodyguard? Miley Cyrus is not-yet-16 and has a bodyguard?

Emily says she can tell that Miley is "focusing really hard."

And, she "has faith that she's going to be a good driver."

This Sunday's episode of "Hannah Montana" on the Disney Channel is about Miley Stewart's attempt to get her driver's license.
