If memory serves me correctly, Ray Bradbury did not drive.

According to John Huston's [auto]biography - when he and Bradbury were in
Ireland doing the script for Moby Dick, Huston would drive and Bradbury
was terrified whenever Huston drove over 45 MPH.  However, it may have
well been that any sane person would be terrified by the way Huston drove.

Best Bradbury title, "Something this way wicked comes."
