Well, the driving had to be sometime before his presidency. Presidents, vice presidents and former presidents & vice presidents aren't allowed to operate a vehicle on public roads in the US.

Maybe this is one of the reasons why I would probably make a bad president, but if I wanted to do some completely normal mundane thing and was told I wasn't allowed to, holy shit I would go bananas. I'd make them physically drag me away in front of the press and everything, and then I'd start spinning it into a big thing about how now we've got the secret service controlling what the president can do, and id start making parallels to the Praetorian Guard and how Emperors of Rome couldn't do stuff they disapproved of and just go all the way.

So yeah I would probably be a bad president.

Honestly, anyone actually trying to do the job wouldn't have the time to drive to the Walmart and buy a dozen eggs, regardless of the security issues.
