Blind man banned from Driving after year at the wheel
MADRID : AFP.- A Spanish motorist has driven to work everyday for three year. He has not bad any accidents , even thought he is blind , police said recently.
The motorist , Jose , 24 , was picked up by police who were tipped off by the Association for the blind where the man works selling lottery tickets.
Jose , who has no driving licence , is blind in one eye. He has 10 percent sight in the other.
Despite this handicap , Jose drove about 10 km a day to go to work in Madrid suburb.
He said he could only make out vague shapes. He avoided accidents by driving “always very slowly .”
Also , he had made some changes to his Ford Escort so that he does not have to fiddle with the key.
Police have confiscated the car but will not press charges as long as he agrees to stop driving.
