25 Celebs Who Owned Cars Before They Learned to Drive

Getting a driver's license isn't all that important until you fail the test. And it's not just ordinary people who end up passing out behind the wheel as the increasingly hard-lipped instructor looks at them with various shades of horror. Even celebrities lose their temper under pressure, very often failing the written test or the driving test itself. So they, too, can and do end up like us, without a driver's license.

This is where the difference between us mere mortals and rich people widens - they can still buy a luxury car and hire a sleazy driver to drive them around. We end up buying lifts from friends and family or end up using public transportation, but they drive in plush comfort, sometimes in cars they own but don't know how to drive.

Of course, some celebrities don't drive because they don't want to. They are afraid of driving, or they don't like it, or they are so rich and spoiled that they pay someone else to manage their fleet for them. And frankly, why not? They can afford to make their lives more comfortable, and if some of them don't trust their driving skills enough to drive, we should thank them for making the world a safer place to drive. 25 Celebs Who Have Cool Cars But Can't, Don't Want To, Or Can't Drive...
