Today in WTF

From the Times of London...

A MAN with no eyes who is partially deaf and suffers from leg tremors became the first blind person to be convicted of dangerous driving yesterday.
Omed Aziz, an Iraqi who lost his eyes in a bomb blast in his home country, said that he had been testing his abilities behind the wheel when he was stopped by traffic police in April.
At the time of his arrest, he was receiving instructions on steering and braking from a friend who had been banned from driving, Warley Magistrates’ Court was told.

Yesterday a traffic police officer described how, after pulling Aziz over, he asked him to remove his sunglasses.
Peter Love, for the prosecution, asked Constable Glyn Austin if he had noticed anything about Aziz. PC Austin replied: “I did — he didn’t have any eyes.”

Ok, I'll say it...WTF?!?!??!
