Motorists complain that there is not enough parking in the city. The solution … make the use of the limited parking available more equitable by installing parking meters. Motorists complain because they now have to pay for parking.

Motorists also complain about registration fees, petrol prices, insurance costs, cost of car repairs, road tolls, parking fines, speeding fines, sharing the road with cyclists, sharing the road with buses, sharing the road with trucks, and of course they complain about the behaviour of other motorists.

Makes me think that motorists are just a lot of whingers who will never be happy.
