No because it is a plane. + 5

Well, they can "drive" around on the ground if that's what you mean. Once I was on a flight and after it landed, there was still another plane in the gate it was supposed to be in. The plane drove on the ground to another nearby gate. It took a while for them to decide to do this- for a while I thought they were going to have us disembark on that inflatable slide thing. :)

Airplanes have shock absorbers and low-pressure tires of appropriate size, and if with tricycle landing gear to make it more steerable than a tail-dragger, then it can scoot about with some agility, but there is danger if wind speed over the leading edge of the wing becomes excessive and begins to create more than nominal lift and the aircraft gets light on the tires. Sidewinds can also be troublesome - it's not good when a plane dips a wingtip onto the ground or tarmac. So, some limitations exist, because it's a plane and was made to fly, but it can roll in a straight line when directed to and move in controlled turns when directed as such. Pilots can adjust to the difference between a stick and a butterfly-shaped tiller, and they can control the engine speed and brakes, all of which are similar to a car.
