Here's a new one for the I thought I've seen everything file.
I worked a wreck this afternoon involving a moped and a pickup truck. I arrive and as usual, am doing everything at chicken with it's head cut off speed to try to get the roadway clear. Moped driver is standing up and doing fine. Obvious road rash down his back, bicycle helmet still on his head. I identify the driver of the truck. "I need Driver's license, registration, proof of insurance." Turn to the moped driver. "Do you have a driver's license?"
"No sir I don't (while opening wallet) but I do have an ID card." (removes ID card from wallet and puts it too me) Well sort of puts it out to me. He's off a few degrees. I then look at his face. No, he can't be. I wave my hand in front of his face. THE KID IS BLIND !!!!
19 years old. Wants to go the store. Doesn't feel like walking that far. He figures, what the heck, why not hop on Dad's moped and use my foot against the curb as a guide.
Scariest part of the story. He was on his way back home and only two blocks from the house
