I can't drive 55 (with just my feet)

I find stories like this one from New Zealand refreshing because they reinforce one of my core beliefs. Namely that the "differently abled" are just as reckless and stupid as the rest of us.
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.
I dunno, sounds like he knew what he was doing. Besides, the title of the article says Smith is "armless," which in the Queen's English means "harmless," what with that charming dropped h. Right?
