Something tells me you're not so bothered about disabled motorists being persecuted by the authorities. I guess that's because you resent them for still being able to drive while you're unable to.

Wouldn't you feel better if you started trying to make the best of your life, rather than trying to bring everyone else down to your level with this "If I can't drive then I don't want anyone else to benefit from being able to drive either" nonsense? That's a bit dog-in-the-manger isn't it?

When you could drive, were you one of those idiots who sat in the outside lane on the motorway at 60mph, with the attitude "If I can't/won't go above 60mph then I don't want anyone else to benefit from doing so"? I can't help thinking that the world would be an infinitely nicer place if such people didn't exist. Why can't everyone just concentrate on improving their own lot instead of interfering with other people?
