Don’t Think and Drive
Sunday, August 5th, 2007 • Filed under Other
Some stories literally have me scratching my head. This one made the people around me think I had head lice.
According to the Associated Press, a man in Florida who has no arms and one leg got five years in prison on felony drug and driving charges.
How do you drive a car with only one leg? And no that wasn’t a Chinese riddle.
He would start the car with his foot, steers with his left arm stump and turns the lights on and off with his teeth. The car itself runs on love.
He has a long list of driving violations including driving without a license and kicking a state trooper. I assume he only kicked him once.

There was the blind man in America who was arrested for looking at pictures of child porn. Hmm…

How do you handcuff a guy with no arms? My husband asked me that after we read this and i hadn’t thought of that. We laughed so hard, we cried. Really, how do you restrain him?

Um, keeping in mind that he also only has one leg, do you suppose it’s necessary to restrain him? Even a handcuffed able-bodied man can roll away if you’re that inattentive as an arresting officer.

Daaammmnnn, this guy’s obviously proof that either having the power of just ONE leg is still enough to thwart some smokies when you really. REALLY want to, or that we need some new training for law enforcement- I recommend a video called, “Legless Or Armless, If It’s Got A Driver’s Lisence, It Can Speed.”. Or to hire some new cops who are smart enough to know that all you have to do is trip this kind of guy ONCE, and you can have all the fun in the world watching him curse you to hell and then pleading to be lead to his car so he can carry on his plan of having a death-defying car chase so he can salvage any dignity he may still have after trying unsuccessfully to regain his footing with nothing but his, well, foot.
