Blind Iraqi Driver Sentenced

Track of the day Get Off My Cloud - Rolling Stones.

dog_driver_jpgOmed Aziz, the blind Iraqi, found guilty of dangerous driving in Sandwell, has been sentenced today. Everyone knows that the British legal system is unrivalled in the world. Unrivalled for stupidity that is.

The guy was banned from driving for three years and ordered to take an extended driving test. I'll bet the testers will be fighting for the chance to sit in the passenger seat for that test.
Last April police followed Omed's Peugeot for half a mile along Oldbury Ringway at speeds up to 35mph and watched him successfully negotiate two roundabouts and a corner.
When they attempted to speak to the driver, his passenger leaned across and stated "He’s blind".
The police asked the driver to step out of the vehicle and then questioned him about his eyesight, at which point he removed his glasses and they noticed that he didn’t have any eyes.
The guy has no eyes. What exactly is the point of a three year ban? Do the Sandwell magistrates expect him to sprout new eyes during the next three years?
I just hope they don't bring him to Bogsville to take his extended test.
