This reminds me of a recent article that I read in the Atlanta Georgia News Paper, about two guys, one drunk and one blind that were arrested in Peachtree Georgia, a golf cart community.

Apparently the two men were at a party and the golf cart owner realized that he was too drunk to drive home, so he asked his blind neighbor who was at the party with him to drive them home in his golf cart and he would sit next to him and give him directions.

All was going well for almost two miles until the drunk told the blind driver to turn left by mistake. When the police arrived and saw that the golf cart was overturned in a ditch and that one guy was almost too drunk to stand they asked who was driving, the blind man, said his buddy wasn't driving but that he was, and that his drunk buddy was giving him directions.

Apparently their aren't any laws against a blind man driving a motorized vechicle, so they charged the drunk guy with public intoxication, and took him off to jail, the blind driver was given a ride home and told don't do any more driving.
