Estonian police were shocked after stopping a car in a city centre and finding the driver was not only drunk but also blind.
Key Quote: "Despite the fact that I am blind, driving is something I enjoy, and I am in fact very good at it."

I think this guy deserves a Florida driver's license.

"Despite the fact that I am blind, driving is something I enjoy, and I am in fact very good at it."
Well, you can't say fairer than that.

"OK, Kristjan, here's what you gonna do. There are two towers in street. Wide apart, not to worry. You stay right in middle. Keep away from the right, because McDonald's there. I tug on your shirt when you get close to blue tent -- then you bear right a bit.
Easy as pie!
Oh, and lots of people all over, but do not worry. I honk horn for you."

My sister became a better driver when she went blind. Then again, she sucked at driving.
Hi, Lynn!

Hey, what's the big deal? I've been blind drunk on occasion as well.

My grandmother did this - driving by braille. If she heard gravel, she was too far right. If we screamed, she was too far left.

Doesn't his friend count as "vision correction", per his license?

Reminds me of the joke: "I want to die like my grandfather, peacefully in his sleep. Not crying and screaming, like the passengers in his car."

There's nothing to see in Estonia anyway, so it's not like the guy's missing any beautiful roadside scenery anyway.

Surprisingly Roger Clemens was not involved in this story considering his track record with bad decisions.

He has been caught for multiple times on drunk driving, actually. He seems to have no intentions to quit the habit.
