Blind Man Says He Was 'Testing' His Driving
A blind man who was convicted of dangerous driving after he admitted being behind the wheel of a car was given a three-month suspended sentence in the UK. 
The man, Omed Aziz, lost his eyes after an explosion in his homeland of Iraq, had been driving by following instructions on where to steer and when to brake from a passenger who himself had been banned from driving.
When police stopped the car after it had erratically avoided two traffic islands and a corner, Aziz's passenger explained that his friend was blind.
But that wasn't all, Aziz is also partially deaf. And when he was asked to step out of the car and remove his sunglasses, the officer was surprised to see he did not have any eyes.
Not strange enough? Aziz also suffers from leg tremors and has only two fingers on his right hand. When asked by officers he said he was simply testing his driving abilities.
