A virtually blind New Zealand man has been banned from driving after taking the wheel from a drink driver.
Te Aute Matuakore Collier, 29, from Hamilton, was guided by a drunk passenger but crashed into a wall, reports Stuff.co.nz.
Collier, who has just five per cent sight, admitted a charge of reckless driving when he appeared in the Hamilton District Court.
He had been in the back of the car when he told the driver to pull over so he could drive because both the driver and front-seat passenger were drunk.
The front-seat passenger helped steer the car and both passengers told Collier to turn into a supermarket carpark.
Collier told police he just wanted to park the vehicle and get it off the road - but he missed the entrance and hit a wall.
He was disqualified from driving for two years and ordered to pay court costs.
