Shocking read...

Here is a shocker... I was scanning the local internet news site from Brunei and loooo to my surprise an international article that of a speedster caught driving 121 km/hr. What’s unique to this article is that the driver is with out any arms! The coppers of Bay of Plenty at West Coast, New Zealand...thought it was going to be the typical speed crazed thug-wanna-be youngster, but to their horror the person behind the wheel was a 32-year-old man with one foot on the pedals and the other on the driving wheel.

He stated that he was born with no arms and that he has never held a driver's license in his life (I wonder why...but i have to give this person prop's for being honest). Non-the less he was slapped on the wrist with a NZ$170 (New Zealand dollars) ticket and a slap from behind the head with banned from driving...for life (how can blame the police to give such a harsh decree). What got me is what this acting senior sergeant was quoted:

"I have nothing against people with disabilities driving but obviously driving at a speed like that, arms or not, you're just waiting for an accident."
