A blind Iraqi who lost his eyes in a bomb blast was caught driving a
car while receiving instructions on steering and braking from a banned
driver, a court heard today.

Omed Aziz, who denies dangerous driving, reached speeds of up to 35mph
on a half-mile route through Oldbury, West Midlands, in April.

Warley magistrates' court was told that Aziz - who also suffers from
leg tremors and is partially deaf - was arrested by traffic police
after removing his sunglasses to reveal his disability.

"Prosecutor Peter Love asked Pc Austin if he had noticed anything
about Aziz. Pc Austin replied: "I did - he didn't have any eyes, Your
Worships."
