A Chinese armless man was fined USD 80 for driving without a license after police spotted him steering his car with his feet.

The 45-year-old Guo from Hubei Province was on his way to Chongqing from Shanghai with his friend when police caught him yesterday at a service station on a highway, Shanghai Daily reported.

The man used his left foot to control the steering wheel and changed gears with his right foot.

Guo told the police that he had already driven 160,000 km without a licence and had never met an accident.

He said his arms were amputated when he was seven years old due to an accident involving high-voltage power lines.
 

He learned driving with feet after seeing a friend of his doing it and thought it didn't look very difficult.
