Armed And Dangerous...Not

I hope at least he had the soundtrack to "Footloose" blasting when they pulled him over:

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- An armless man stopped for speeding was driving with one foot on the steering wheel and another on the pedals, a policeman testified in court.

Colin Smith, who was born without arms and has never held a driver's license, appeared in court Thursday charged with driving in a manner likely to be dangerous to the public.

Um, "likely" to be dangerous?

How did they cuff him?

I bet he was smoking too, Ken.

And talking on his cell phone.

Heh. Local VRWC radio used to run a commercial for one of their shows using an actual caller, went something like this:

Caller: I'm eating a hamburger too

Host: You mean you're eating while talking to me on a cell phone?

Caller: Yeah, terrible isn't it?

Commercial announcer: He's holding a cell phone with one hand and holding a hamburger in the other. Do you really want to know how he's steering the car?
