I guess this gives the Peugeot UK slogan "The drive of your life" a whole
new meaning....
Blind man to be sentenced for dangerous driving
Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:43 AM BST
LONDON (Reuters) - A blind man who was convicted of dangerous driving after
he admitted being behind the wheel of a car that touched 35 mph in Oldbury,
West Midlands, is due to be sentenced later on Monday.
Omed Aziz, who lost his eyes after an explosion in his homeland of Iraq, was
following instructions on where to steer and when to brake from a passenger
who himself had been banned from driving.
When police stopped the Peugeot 405 in April this year after it had
erratically negotiated two traffic islands and a corner, Aziz's passenger
explained that his friend was blind.
When Aziz, who is also partially deaf, was asked to step out of the car and
remove his sunglasses, the officer was surprised to see he did not have any
eyes, Warley magistrates court heard earlier this month.
In his defence 31-year-old Aziz, who also suffers from leg tremors and has
only two fingers on his right hand, said he was testing his driving
abilities.
At an earlier hearing he had admitted driving with no MOT, no licence and no
insurance
