Hand-controls are a thing. Eddy is perfectly fine driving his handi-van around. He's not too keen on when motorcycles part in between the handicapped spots though.
Jessie got shot in the face in the war, his lack of depth perception from having one eye stops him from driving.
Fred, Stephanie, Phil, Jack, and Masha all have severe hearing loss from the war (Jack's is actually from training for the war), while they can still drive, it's safer for them not too.
Nick, Chloe, Phil (different Phil), and Jessie (same Jessie) all got blown up in the war, driving vehicles is extremely stressful for them. Being a passenger to varying less degrees. Trains don't seem to trigger any reaction, and busses don't for at least one of them (not sure about the others)
