But if you think about it, it could very well fit with him, too... keeping up certain skills just in case they come up as needed for his work (just like canon Holmes). So it's not that much of a stretch for him to be able to command a car in a pinch. You wouldn't exactly want a stranger driving you to a highly curious location and asking about it.

Maybe I've just read too much fan fic, but aren't Sherlock and Mycroft orginally from the country? Isn't there some kind of country estate where Mummy holds forth, where the kids were raised? If so, that'd be a good reason why Sherlock would know how to drive. I don't know if there's any actual canon about it, but if they weren't city kids, driving around on the estate and then around town and stuff would be very common, even necessary.

 

In canon Sherlock Holmes is no stranger to driving a cart.

As of  Watson, I think there isn't any description of him driving.

My roommate says this image is the perfect example of 'people seeing what they want to see.' We all know that he's not actually grabbing his hand, that he was grabbing the badge, but I say to my roommate "Piss off."

I'd say your roommate is right. And I'd say you're even more right.

today is the ear-hat day!
