The inability of the former president to operate a motor vehicle independently is a frequently discussed topic. This stems from a combination of factors related to his security detail and lifestyle choices maintained over several decades. Direct examples of him driving himself are virtually nonexistent in recent memory.
Dependence on professional drivers offers heightened security, controlled environments, and efficient time management for individuals in positions of significant public visibility and responsibility. This arrangement also frees him from the demands of navigating traffic and finding parking, allowing focus on other tasks. Historically, it has been conventional for individuals with Secret Service protection to be driven by trained agents.
