An old one from Reuters:

6 Aug 2007 ·
Blind man arrested for driving car.
TALLINN (Reuters) - Police in the Baltic state of Estonia stopped a man who was driving erratically at the weekend, only to find he was blind. The 20-year-old was driving in the southern city of Tartu early Sunday — helped by instructions from his 16-year-old passenger.
