Amanda Bynes accepted a plea deal in her D.U.I. case on Monday after her lawyer appeared in a Los Angeles court and entered a no-contest plea to reckless driving.

The 27-year-old starlet's D.U.I. charge was dismissed, and she was placed on probation for three years, fined and ordered to attend an alcohol education course. The D.U.I. charge was filed after Bynes allegedly sideswiped a police car in West Hollywood in April of 2012. After that the actress also picked up two hit-and-run charges, along with a charge for driving on a suspended license. All of those charges have since been dropped.

The D.U.I. case was delayed last year after Bynes was placed on a psychiatric hold and put in rehab for several months for various mental health issues. Last November a judge found her to be mentally competent to stand trial.

All things considered, it sounds like she got a pretty good deal ... then again, she has had a pretty rough year.
