New Zealand - A Hamilton man with just five per cent sight took the wheel of a car from a drunk driver and was guided by a drunk passenger.
They crashed !
Musician Te Aute Matuakore Collier, 29, admitted a charge of reckless driving when he appeared before Judge Phil Connell in the Hamilton District Court.
A police summary of facts said Collier was in the back of a car being driven on Anglesea St on December 13, 2004.
The driver and the front-seat passenger were both drunk and Collier told the driver to pull over so he could drive.
The front-seat passenger helped steer the car and both passengers told Collier to turn into the Countdown Supermarket carpark.
But Collier missed the entrance and hit a retaining wall and sign. Part of the retaining wall broke.
He told police he was parking the vehicle so it was not blocking the road.
Collier was disqualified from driving for two years and ordered to pay $130 court costs.
