Armless Man Caught Driving With His Feet
Zing Shen, a 42 year-old man with no arms, was recently caught driving with his feet in Beijing.
Zing told police that ever since he lost his arms in an industrial accident several years ago, he had used his feet to steer his vehicle without difficulty. He has no arms from the elbows down.
“He had an automatic so did not need to worry about changing gears and said he had put a lot of practice into learning to control the steering wheel with his legs. He said he was actually even more careful now with driving than he had been before he lost his arms. He was surprised when we arrested him.”

How is that possible?! Arms on steering wheel? Who or what was operating the brakes/gas pedal?
