Common misconception, that they can't ask you certain questions at an interview. They can ask you anything they want, other than your age, ethnicity and religion. (And they can probably tell at least the first two just by looking at you.) They can hire or not hire you for any reason at all, or for no reason, that isn't discriminatory as defined by federal, state and local laws.
Myself, I would get the driver's license, but I wouldn't buy a car for a job.
