 If I'm not mistaken, Queen Elizabeth II was an avid driver, having

 was not permitted to drive on public roads, at least as Queen. However,
 she loved to drive on the private roads on her estates, like Balmoral. I
 distinctly remember seeing that depicted in a movie where the Queen
 (played by Helen Mirren if I recall correctly) was hauling ass around
 Balmoral in a Land Rover.

 
 She was more than a mechanic - she was a military chauffer. It would
 be interesting to know how much of that was real and how much for the
 camera since she was after all the Princess of Wales and the next
 monarch after her father.
 
 As for your last point I saw the same movie (not surprising since I am
 a massive Helen Mirren fan)

 
The royal family are, and do, sometimes drive themselves on public
roads, including the Queen before she stopped driving on public roads
due to her own concerns about her age (on her 93rd birthday) affecting
the safety of herself and other drivers. She did still drive for a
while longer on private roads though. She also taught her children and
grandchildren to drive.
 
The current Queen / King is the only person in Britain who does not
legally need to have a drivers licence nor even take the driving test,
and also does not need a licence plate on their cars. The Queen / King
also does not need a passport either.

How does the Queen exempt herself from other countries' laws regarding
passports?
