    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."
