Driver proves blindness to benefits office
It's OK officer, I'm blind...
Benefit officials tried to strip the disability allowance from Domingo Merino after he was snapped doing 154kmh (98mph) near Barcelona.
He also faced having to repay a £360,000 insurance payment for the loss of his sight in a car accident in 1996. Insurers Mapfre said the charge proved he could see.
But a Barcelona court threw out the claims after Merino explained he had wanted to drive one more time.
He said he had persuaded his wife to sit beside him telling where to steer as he travelled along a straight stretch of road.
Scary...

What happened was that he had just found out that she was having an affair!
They had just agreed the divorce settlement when she agreed to help him have one last drive.
She said "is there anything else you want?"
"No, I have the only thing I need right now" he said
" whats that?" she asked
