Armless Man Banned From Driving (Pics and Video) by dridowu: 9:29pm On Jul 04, 2014
Chinese motorist with no arms is banned from driving after police catch him using his toes to steer… but not before he drove 100,000 miles without ever crashing

Police in China caught armless Wo Guo, 45, driving with his feet
Mr Guo said that he has clocked up 100,000 miles using just his feet to drive
Officials said that Mr Guo is a danger to himself and other road users

An armless man who steered his car with his feet has had his car confiscated to stop him driving because it’s ‘too dangerous’ – though he’d already clocked up 100,000 miles behind the wheel.

Police in China said Wo Guo, 45, was a danger to himself and other road users.

He was pulled over in a routine road traffic check in Xiantao city in central China’s Hubei province, where officers found he did not have a licence.
Toe-tally incredible: Wo Guo has driven 100,000 miles using his feet








He used his feet to drive the car. He used the big toe and the toe beside it on the left foot to control the steering wheel and used the right foot to control the brake. According to the armless motorist he has clocked up 100,000 miles without mishap.

Guo lost his arms at the age of seven when he went to cut grass to feed a horse, and accidentally touched high voltage wires with his scythe.
After his arms were amputated he learned to wash his face and brush his teeth, write and to sew using his feet. He is married, has a son who is at college, makes a living selling fruit and says he has a ‘happy life.’

But he says he needs his car to make deliveries: ‘I don't find driving automatic cars hard. My friend taught me to drive within a week, but I can't get a licence because of my disability so I do it in secret.

A police spokesman said that he would not be fined and he would get his car back if he hired a driver, adding: ‘He is admirable, but it’s too dangerous for him to drive. I hope he can give up driving himself and employ someone else.’

If any of you can volunteer to be his passengers on a trip from lagos to benin then no hope is lost.
The man is a road hazard and a disaster waiting to happen steering wheels were not designed to be steered with feet his response and reflexes would not be as quick and adequate to sudden change in road traffic conditions.
He requires a specialised vehicle that steers with feet and he needs to pass a "driving test" thank God china is not nigeria.
