While I have sympathy for solar penguin in terms of his disability, I have to agree wholeheartedly with this. I absolutely detest the attitude described, and it is directly responsible for such a lot of the misery in the world today. It's so totally unnecessary. If solar penguin did drive, no doubt he'd be one of the twats who got arsey with anyone who ever overtook him, no matter whether they did it safely or not. "If I don't have the skill to go above 37mph in a NSL then I'm damned if I'm going to let anyone else go any faster." Despicable.
