A New Zealand man with no arms has pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving after police stopped him for speeding on a major highway.
The police officer who stopped the car on March 23 noticed the driver’s seat was reclined and the driver had his foot up on the dashboard. Then he saw Colin Smith (31) had no arms.
Smith allegedly told the shocked patrol officer he had been driving with his feet for years without any problems, despite having no licence.
When the long arm of the law caught up with him, he was allegedly using one leg to control the steering wheel and the other to work the accelerator and brake pedals in the unmodified car.
Smith was pulled over for driving at 121kph in a 100kph area near the North Island city of Tauranga. — Sapa-AFP
