I think it's OK for poets to drive so long as they do it badly.
I often scribble notes for poems when driving, which ensures I drive badly, especially when using a mobile phone and eating a sandwich at the same time.

David, if you're not also applying mascara, you've got nothing to brag about.

While I don't have a mobile phone and don't use mascara, I think I'm doing pretty good. After the stroke I've only one hand functional (the left), but I can drive, put on a tie, drink a can of Pepsi (without a cup holder), and eat a sandwich at the same time using the red and green lights. It only becomes a bit tricky when you're also trying to use as little gas as possible; ie. coasting up to the light when it's red with inertia (I think Newton's 2nd Law of Motion) gives you less time
at the red light.
