Estonian police had asked a court to seize a car owned by a blind man who was caught driving drunk twice in a single week, saying it was a "dangerous repeat offence".
The 20-year-old, who for legal reasons has been identified only by his first name, Kristjan, was stopped twice last week while drunk-driving with the help of his passengers near the southern Estonian city of Tartu.
On the first occasion Kristjan, who owns the vehicle but has no driving licence, was guided at the wheel by a 16-year-old boy who also lacks a driving permit.
Six days later, Kristjan was again caught driving under the influence of alcohol, this time while being given instructions by three fellow passengers in another neighbourhood of Tartu.
Kristjan, who is facing 30 days behind bars, reportedly told police that he likes driving and regularly gets behind the wheel.
