I think Sunday driver refers to elderly that are only issued a license to drive on Sundays due to them to much of a hazard to normal traffic during the normal week. They don’t want to completely take away their freedom to drive so it is limited to one a week on the lightest traffic day. I could be wrong though.

My dream-car would be a Porsche or an Aston-Martin…
On the other hand, I don’t have a license….

Hi Mieth,
Where are you from? I think this phrase means different things depending on where you are from! In America, for example “Sunday Driver” means,
Sunday driver
noun
1. (idiom) One who drives slowly, as for leisure or sightseeing.
But I can imagine in other places it might mean different things. (Ask an American to put a jumper on and they will look at you sideways like you are speaking another language!) My friends from Australia and England all wear their jumpers when they are cold - I wear my sweater!
Thanks for your comment!

プチクレアさん＞Thank you so much for pointing out the missing parts! 
In France, do many people drive? In America people like driving Japanese cars, how about it France??

I don’t have a drivers license so my dream is to drive a golf cart on the streets of Tokyo! It’s small and easy to get around!

Japanese cars are a big hit here too. Forgetting about my sports car dreams, if I were to buy a car, I’d probably go for a Toyota Prius.
If you don’t live inside a big city, and by big I mean Paris, Lyon or Marseilles, a car is more or less mandatory. Public transportation is ok within the city, but local trains aren’t no where near as convenient as in Japan, and most people commute by car.
