Shakespeare never drove, nor did Dante. Alexander Pope did not even own a car, although I remember reading that he was an enthusiatic in-line skater, and also introduced snowboarding to the neo-classicists. When Swift commented on his lack of a driving license, Pope is said to have retorted, "So?".
