Omed Aziz, 31, from Darlaston, West Midlands, who was being directed by an allegedly banned driver, was given 12 weeks in prison suspended for a year.

He has also been banned from driving for three years and ordered to take an extended driving test.

Blind, and suspended from driving for 3 years. Makes a lot of sense. Blind, and driving again in 3 years. LOL

I think they should make this guy and the Chinese driving dog learn to drive together . . . .

They must have missed the "Blind" part, lol

[Edit] Read article, by law they have to. Don't see why they didn't just ban him from ever driving though.

Sounds like that scene from Tallegadega Nights

"Ya just gotta learn how to drive by feel..."

Not sure this makes sense at all, and I'm not sure I believe it. Courts can be dumb, but not that dumb and usually not DMV court cases. I've got a feeling he'll be out way before a year is through.
