Hollywood actress Kate Beckinsale has revealed that she does not want to learn how to drive because she likes being in the rear seats of cars.

The Underworld star says that she will never try for a driving licence because she feels that that would take the fun out of car journeys.

She recalled that how mother used to strap her into the back seat of the family car, and drive her for miles, as a teen.

She revealed that her mother would do so whenever she was upset.

Kate even said that she still found it comforting to let someone else do the steering.

"I love to be driven... When I was a teenager and I was miserable or things were difficult, my mom and I would pile into the car and she would drive me. I've always been really chilled by that," Contactmusic quoted her as telling Hollywood Life magazine.

"(Now) I take cabs or friends drive," she added.
