In 2020, there are an estimated 40.4 million cars on UK roads (source: ) and 49.4 million driving licence holders (source: DVLA). Even accounting for those who share cars, we figure there are still a significant number of people who hold a licence but don’t drive.ĭon’t worry, if you don’t drive for whatever reason, you’re in great company:ĭespite owning a black Mercedes S-Class and a 1976 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, rock band Queen’s frontman didn’t ever learn to drive. Perhaps prompting the 1978 hit Bicycle Race. Rumour has it that Freddie did take a couple of driving lessons but got bored (yawn) and so didn’t continue. He instead relied on a bevvy of chauffeurs to ferry him to gigs and social engagements until his untimely death in 1991.Įven though Freddie didn’t ever drive it, his Rolls Royce sold at auction in 2013 for an astonishing £74,000. We hope that a fan is at least enjoying being chauffeur-driven as the legendary musician once was. ![]() Naturalist and documentary maker, David has reached the ripe old age of 90 without having to drive himself.
