I did see the blind guy on Top Gear, and wonderd how well I could do without lenses!!
My Holiday in 2004 was racing my rare 30 year old Ford Capri round the old circuit of the Nurburgring in Germany. It is the longest (14 miles long) and most dangerous race track in Europe. My car only has a rear view mirror. A week later I found I had a problem with my grafted right eye and the 600 mile round trip plus 200 miles racing was all done well below the legal limit to drive.


The onset of the problem was so gradual I had not realised.
Still do not have the guts to go for the blind driving landspeed record. Currently held by a blind British gentleman at I think 180 miles per hour. I did have a picture of him with the car and his guide dog!
With little sight, I am capable fo pursueing just as many dangerous and life threatening hobies as the next person.
