BEIJING, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- A man in China with no arms was caught driving in Beijing by steering with his feet, officials said.
Zing Shen, 42, has been driving with his feet for years, The Daily Telegraph reported Saturday.
The reportedly told police he has used his feet to steer ever since he lost his arms in an industrial accident several years ago. The man has no arms from the elbows down.
"The man said that he was a very safe driver and felt he was as good as anyone else on the road, despite his disability," a police spokesman said. "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."
