Robert Pattinson Reveals his Dangerous, Potentially Fatal Flaw

Robert Pattinson's loyal fans believe he's perfect. In the eyes of most hopelessly devoted twihards, their Cosmopolis man can do no wrong. Surely, the world's greatest leading man/heart-throb has no faults, no flaws, no problems--physical, intellectual, or psychological. In fact, most RPattz fans wouldn't hesitate to say that there's nothing that their idol cannot do. Right? Well...umm-- Sorry, twihards. Recently, Kristen Stewart's perfect man revealed a startling personal secret. He's a lousy driver. No, seriously, he's a really lousy driver. In fact, at the tender age of 26, he's already crashed several cars.

In a recent interview, Pattinson opened up about being a menace on the road. It's not that he's a dare-devil, or a speed demon like his fellow idol, Justin Bieber. The man just flat-out can not drive. He knows how to drive, of course. The Twilight Saga producers demanded he take a 10-hour driving course before filming Breaking Dawn. Alas, he must have played hooky, because he now admits:

"I learned to drive by people crashing into me."

A case in point: Rob is such a lousy driver that he once almost crashed a BMW convertible that he had taken out for a test drive.

Yikes.

Oh well, there you have it. Robert Pattinson--a man of many talents, but safe and competent vehicular operation is apparently not one of them.

Fortunately, he has sufficient funds to always hire a driver. And hopefully, Kristen Stewart will never let him get his hands on her car keys.

Just saying.
