Blind man goes driving!

Well, he didn't actually drive alone... He was with a BMW instructor all the time. Really caught my attention when I saw this article over at Auto Parts News. But I really feel great for the guy. Its not everyday a blind man is allowed to drive a BMW. Here's some snippets from the said article:

"...Sascha Schulze summarizes his impressions: “For me as a person who has been blind since birth, this is an incredible experience - just to sit behind the wheel myself. The freedom and mobility which the automobile gives people able to see is impossible for a blind person to achieve, even with public transport. There are lots of times when I’ve wanted to be able to drive at times and places when I want to. However, since that will never be possible for me, an event like driving for blind and a visually impaired person offers the opportunity to at enjoy the feeling of freedom at the wheel of a car at least for a little while.”..."
