In the UK the owner of a small three wheeled car is growing extremely frustrated with the actions of local youths who keep rolling his car on its side.

    Two British men are now counting the cost of a rather foolish idea they had. One of the men was keen to drive a powerful Subaru Impreza, despite the fact that he was legally blind, due to suffering a degenerative condition that has resulted in almost total loss of sight. With his friend sitting beside him giving him instructions, the blind man set off driving the high performance car along a public road. Somewhat predictably the car crashed when the blind driver failed to negotiate a large obstacle by the s
