When driving without a license, it’s best not to call unnecessary attention to yourself.

Tell that to 34-year-old Rachel Rivera, 5224 Hunter Blvd., Golden Gate, who was arrested Sunday after Collier County sheriff’s deputies say they caught her driving without a right front tire.

Just after 2 a.m. Sunday deputies watched as a red, four-door Plymouth, which was driving on its right front rim, turned off of U.S. 41 East onto Collier Boulevard, the Sheriff’s Office reported.

The car was traveling in a "reckless manner," reports said.

Deputies determined that the driver, Rivera, had a suspended license and an active warrant for failure to appear in court for a traffic summons. She was arrested on charges of reckless and driving with a suspended license.

She was also charged with possession of cocaine after deputies found cocaine in her purse.
