Your question is a good one but it's too vague. The brain is an incredibly complex mass. Someone who has damage that causes them loss of feeling on the left side of their face is obviously capable of driving a car. However someone who suffers from damage to the cerebellum or sensory motor cortex (areas that control muscle movements and coordination) would not be qualified to drive a car.

It would depend on the extent of the brain damage, how old the person was when the damage occurred, whether or not the damage was permanent, and what part of the brain was affected.

It depends on the damage. Depending on what the damage is and what part of the brain is damaged they could. Obviously if they had damage to say part of the primary motor cortex they could see deficits in motor control and have a hard time.

It depends on the extent of damage and where the brain was traumatized. Some can still drive, others can't.

Yes, I know of several people who have ABI (aquired brain injury) who drive themselves to attend clinics and other appointments. I have only spoken toone of them and he doesnt have a license but still drives. He does get tired and tries minimize his driving and other activities to much.
But as the others suggest, not ALL those with brain damage could drive.
