Blind mechanic fixes cars using only the power of touch

A blind mechanic fixes cars using just touch to tell what is wrong with them. Dutchman Col Collewijn lost his eyesight when he was eight – but has incredibly learned how to repair motors.

The remarkable mechanic said: "As long as my tools are in the right place and no screws drop to the ground I get along alone very well."



Collewijn, who has worked in a garage in Nuis, Holland, for 30 years, said: "I do everything by trusting my senses and my hearing.

"And I have one big advantage over other mechanics - I can repair cars in the dark."
