A pretty big blind spot

A few days ago, I had a post about a guy who was driving in spite of the fact that he had no arms and one leg. That seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do, compared with this.
Police in the Baltic state of Estonia stopped a man who was driving erratically at the weekend, only to find he was blind.

The 20-year-old was driving in the southern city of Tartu early Sunday -- helped by instructions from his 16-year-old passenger.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but why didn't the passenger, who, I presume, could actually see, just do the driving?
