So it says he is blind, but the 'blind' man says he was focused on the road.
Something tells me that the man can see, but is legally blind.

The owner of the car, who can see, was in the passenger seat helping the blind guy steer. The owner was the one focused on the road.

Well, if you don't get your way, you can always let the authorities know how you feel.

Does it matter if you are driving drunk if you are blind? I mean can it really be that much worse?

fined by the courts to hop behind the wheel of a car and take it for a spin

So hopping behind the wheel of a car was the fine?

A guy I work that A ridiculously awesome guy I work with once told us the story of a time when he went drinking with his blind (totally, not just legally) brother (this is in the 60s).
Anyways, they leave the bar, my coworker is hammered, so he tells his brother that hes too drunk to drive back home. His brother, also hammered agrees with him and manages to get the car about three blocks before a cop pulls them over. Incredibly neither got arrested, the cop made them walk home, I think he just didn't know how to react.

Probably not...but it's still better than some of the text-messaging idiots behind the wheel.

With the exception of being drunk I think that was a really cool thing to do.

These two people were apparently taking precautions (driving slow and staying in a rural area) to avoid an accident. If I had a second car that I wasn't all that concerned about, I'd happily do the same. (I'd hope to leave the drunk part out)

About a year ago, I saw a video of a bunch of blind people running figure 8's... they were so happy to be crashing into eachother. I'm not sure if I'd have the guts to be involved in something like that but it did look like fun.

This is not the vid but it's somewhat related.
