A police officer described yesterday how he pulled over a motorist who was veering across the road and found that he had no eyes.
Omed Aziz, who lost both his eyes in a bomb blast and is also deaf, was caught behind the wheel with a friend sitting in the passenger seat giving him instructions on when to steer and brake, and how quickly to drive.

Aziz, who also suffers from leg tremors, claimed he was perfectly safe and denied a charge of dangerous driving before being convicted.....

HOW? I think they do hand to hand pressure "symbols". My question is why? If he felt he had to tool around just for the experience why didn't his friend take him to an empty field?

Timothy Gascoyne, defending, said Aziz, who did not give evidence, should be cleared because "the question is not whether his driving was dangerous, but whether being blind makes it dangerous". He said: "If my client hadn't been blind he wouldn't have been arrested for dangerous driving, so it doesn't fall far below what is expected from a careful and competent driver."
I read this and I've gone mute.

I was just driving behind a car last week with the vanity license plate "DEAF". He was weaving all over the place. As I got closer, I saw the reason for the weaving. He was carrying on a spirited conversation in sign language (both hands) with his passenger. Not watching the road or keeping a hand on the wheel. A truly dangerous dumbass.

I think this was the same guy who was swinging his seeing eye dog around over his head at the department store. When asked what he thought he was doing, he said that he was just looking around.

At least he has an excuse for being a lousy driver.

He may be "perfectly safe" but no one else is.
