A man with no arms has been caught speeding at 121 km/h (75 mph), according to police in New Zealand.

The driver, who used one foot to steer and another to operate the pedals, told officers he was born with no arms but had been driving for years.

I can't say that there's anything wrong with them banning him from driving, seeing as how he didn't even have a liscense and he's going around speeding.

That's handy.

Post by: Fineus on March 25, 2006, 05:29:19 pm: Any man looking to kick my ass had better damn well come armed or else he'll be going home with less limbs than he came with.

Post by: redsniper on March 25, 2006, 05:32:09 pm: Now think if we could all drive with our feet, then we could have our hands free while driving.
Spoiler:
I just passed 2000 posts.

I bet he could kick your arse with his arms tied behind his back.

He'd just have to find them first.

Post by: watsisname on March 25, 2006, 06:38:17 pm: So couldn't this guy just get some prosthetic arms? Maybe then he could drive legally. Unless of course money is an issue... in which case I guess he's f*cked.

Whee, 100th post. :D

Post by: redsniper on March 26, 2006, 01:10:20 am: Well, if they ever catch him driving again and have to arrest him it'll be a little simpler than usual. "Keep your hands on the wheel." "Step out of the car and put your hands on the hood." "Put your hands behind your head." Not to mention no need for handcuffs. :rolleyes:

So not only could we smoke, shave, check our email (via HUD), and talk on our cell phone, we could also drink hot coffee as well? Hot damn, sign me up! :lol:
