no comments on this. where are all the madd socialists all the people who think the handicapped are capable of doing it all?

I think there was a guy from Nantucket who did kind of the same thing.

He'll beat the rap: "I'm blind, you see. My friends kept refilling the glass without telling me. How was I supposed to know I was drunk when I could only feel one glass in front of me?"

Then he'll flip the cops to the Estonian HRC.

"Despite the fact that I am blind, driving is something I enjoy, and I am in fact very good at it."

Quote of the day - eh!

Wayback.
My buddies bought a junker while in University, and use to let their blind university friend drive it in downtown Toronto, by giving him directions, while they sat next to him.
They were all at the U of T at the time
They're all lawyers now and two are retired judges.
Great guys , all.

I used to take my shotgun to college with me (No Case) and leave it along with many others behind the secretaries desk at the front.

We're all dead scared zombies now.

Being visually challenged I find these comments hurtful and capable of inciting hate for those wishing to persue their entitled right to drive.

(do I really have to put in the sarc tag?)

I've got a friend who's wife is legally blind, every year on holidays on Hornby Island they rent scooters and she goes driving. Wouldn't recommend it but the visual (pun intended) is hilarious. "Stay left honey and watch out for that tree!"

Do the Estonians have a version of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?

15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or PHYSICAL DISABILITY.

2) Subsection (1) does not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.

The Estonians must be really advanced, they have a blind drivers affirmative action plan!!

I hear they use their seeing eye dogs to sniff out any potential accidents.

Now you know why the roads are going to the dogs; woof woof.

reminds me of a ZZ Top song,
"Arrested For Driving While Blind"-Rancho Texicano

My Mom's cousin drove for years after he became legally blind. His wife didn't feel confident to drive herself so she navigated from the passenger's seat.

My son's friend, also legally blind, has been taught to drive by his parents. It probably happens more often than we imagine.

That's why they provide Braille at Toll Auto pay, Lincoln tunnel, NJTP. It adds new meaning to defensive driving… I have taught my wife (City Girl) that when she sees a Sask farm truck nearing an intersection to a assume they have no brakes…We can deal with anything.

"Feelin' that Wild Turkey's bite" :-)

Driving across Toronto every day confirms the fact for me that many blind drivers are on the road...

Gives a whole new meaning to blind drunk...

"But your honor, I didn't 'see' them there, an ole Tor here, well he pretty much was too busy passin wind to speak up quick enough!
Otherwise yeah, I'm a pretty good driver."

Really? Must be an impressive driving record when sober no doubt.
:~)
( mind you with cell phone drivers heh, same effect IMHO. )
