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.

I say he has to have big balls to even try this! either that or he is stupid as well!!!

Sheer stupidity IMO. It is very lucky he never killed anyone

[TGLucario]

i agree....but @ least he did have to look where he was going, & the phase, "i didnt see anything" would of worked

Agree, that was total stupidity, both of them should be locked up for a couple of years ... it is a wonder that they didn't kill anyone

He said he was testing his driving ability? If you can't see, you can't drive, so therefore, he has no driving ability. Thank God that nobody was hurt. I agree with everyone, what a stupid move on his part.
