But why did a blind man have a car?
As a blind man myself, I can think of several reasons.
Perhaps he's not completely blind. The media has an annoying tendency to classify anyone with even the slightest of screwed up eyesight as blind.
Perhaps he's going blind and still has his car from his sighted days. He may have intended to sell it.
Or perhaps he is blind but has the means to hire somebody to drive him around. If I had that sort of money that's the first thing I'd do. I'm glad it exists, but if I didn't have to there's no way I'd consistently ride the bus.
