    Guessing he isn’t allowed to drive a car - I remember Al Gore complaining about how they never got to drive any more [after the VP era], as the secret service wouldn’t let them.

      honestly he probably didn’t drive even before being president. having a chauffeur is a status symbol for the ultra wealthy and he has to keep up appearances.

        My understanding is that most wealthy people have drivers cause if not, they open themselves up to opportunists looking to sue them for a big payout.
