Driving drunk and blind in Estonia – A 20-year blind man identified only as Kristjan was stopped twice in one week for drunk driving in Tartu, Estonia. The first time he was being guided by a 16-year old though neither had a driving permit. The second DUI charge came when police spotted Kristjan being given driving directions by three passengers.
