Actually he just drove them out not drove as in car but drove as in he kicked them out.
The merchants and thieves
I'm assuming you're speaking of the incident that is called the "cleansing of the temple"? Jesus did this because the area where the merchants set up was the court of the Gentiles. This was as far as a non-Jew could go in the temple. This was to be the place of prayer for all nations. Instead, it had been turned into a market.
There at the temple in the Court of the Gentiles, Jesus discovers "those selling cattle and sheep and doves and the money brokers in their seats." Brandishing a whip made of ropes, he drives out all the animals, and the merchants certainly follow them. Jesus also pours out the coins of the money changers and overturns their tables. He orders those selling doves to take what they have and leave. (John 2:13-16)
Jesus came into the Temple and disturbed the area where some small commerce was occurring (likely so that people could buy the sacrifices that they would make before entering the Temple). Since Jesus was causing a mess, overturning tables, and accusing the merchants of having no right to conduct their business, they asked him under what authority he came. Jesus said that as proof that he was on high, he would "destroy this Temple and raise it in three days." The response from the merchants and moneylenders was incredulity, saying that it had cost them 46 years to build, implying that if Jesus were wrong, the Temple would be irreparable. The narrator of the New Testament claims that he was using the word "Temple" to refer to his own body and the resurrection. However, it is curious to note that Jesus does not correct the moneylenders or merchants on this fact nor does the New Testament argue that his resurection did not convince any in attendence of this conversation who were not already convinced of Jesus' divinity. It would seem that this understanding comes ex post facto, not from the moment.
Jesus Answer: Actually they were merchants and money changers. Overt thieves generally don't set up shops in temples.
