Armless man caught driving car

Now here's an interesting story from New Zealand....the other day a man was stopped on State Highway 2 at Papamoa ( Bay of Plenty) cos he was 21km/hr over the 100km/hr speed limit. The officer approaches the car and sees that the drivers seat is reclined and the guy has his foot up on the dashboard. He's thinking,this guy is acting like a smart alec. Then he notices the guy has no arms!

This fella has been driving for years with no drivers license, using one foot to steer and the other to operate the pedals. Apart from the fact he was speeding, I reckon he deserves a medal for guts, having the Kiwi can-do attitude, and simply having the dexterity to drive a car with no hands!
