USA Today_Pull over: Driver arrested — he's blind (August 7)

07.08.2007

Friday we noted the saga of a Florida man with no arms and one leg who was sent to jail for driving.

Today the news machine lets us know about a blind man in Estonia who was behind the wheel over the weekend, "driving erratically," as Reuters reports.

A 16-year-old passenger was his navigator.

"At first they thought he was just drunk, but the man kept missing the tube for the breath test, then they realized he was blind," a Tartu police spokeswoman said today. That's when he was arrested.
