Oh right, so you're happy to be driven in cars when it suits you. Did you explain to the driver how much you hated motorists, and how you wanted all sorts of further restrictions on them just because you wanted them to suffer? Or are there one or two motorists that are exempt from your hatred (like Chapman, who hates all motorists except himself and his wife, because they're more important than other people)?
