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?
