Mechanical Heart for this dad

I heard about this guy a week ago. A friend was working in a shop and he came in. He has 2 pumps on his legs to keep the blood circulating. He looks absolutely washed out and terrible ill, as you would expect.

So why was he driving? He said to her he was banned from driving yet there he was tootling around Hornby. She phoned the police.

[W]hat the internet and its cult of anonymity do is to provide a blanket sort of immunity for anybody who wants to say anything about anybody else, and it would be difficult in this sense to think of a more morally deformed exploitation of the concept of free speech.

The police didn't tell her that I know of. He can drop dead at any moment. He is banned from driving until he gets the new heart, yet he thought it was funny. While I feel sorry for him being in the position he is in, it pisses me off that he thinks the law is only there at his convenience.
