Ozzy Osbourne is reportedly giving up driving less than a decade from finally obtaining a driver's license back in 2009. A UK tabloid reports that he decided to stop driving after being involved in a minor accident in a Ferrari. He son Jack is quoted, "He had a little bumper kiss on the freeway with someone and he was like 'you know, I don't want to drive any more'. He was already driving less and less. I think he is of that mindset he'd rather not have the responsibility. Think about it - Ozzy bumps someone and it is like next thing you know we are going to sue for a billion - because people are silly. His thing was more like 'I don't want to be liable, that's it'."
