New Zealand police have dropped charges of dangerous driving against a man with no arms who was caught speeding.
Colin Smith, 31, was stopped for driving at 121 km/h (75 mph) near the North Island city of Tauranga in March.
Mr Smith, who did not have a licence, was using one foot to steer and the other to operate the pedals.
He paid an on-the-spot speeding fine of NZ$170 (£60), but police in Tauranga have now decided to withdraw the dangerous driving charge, saying they accepted Mr Smith could drive a car safely using his feet.
Mr Smith had now obtained a learner's licence and could drive an automatic car with power steering, prosecutor Sgt Sean Brennan told the court.
