On the lookout

An Iraqi man stopped by British police after driving on the wrong side of the road and speeding in a built-up area has been charged with dangerous driving, after police in the West Midlands discovered he has no eyes.

Omed Aziz, aged 31, lost his eyes in a bomb explosion in his native Iraq. He also suffers from tremulous legs and is partially deaf. He was receiving instructions from a friend seated beside him, but police found the passenger had been banned from driving, so he doesn't count, does he?

From the news story:

Prosecutor Peter Love asked PC Austin if he had noticed anything about Aziz.
The officer replied: "I did - he didn't have any eyes, Your Worships."
