'Driving school offers blind people a chance to take the wheel'

Maybe David Faucheux will do a commentary on this, but meanwhile, from 9news.com in Denver, here are a few details about a driving school for the blind:

The people taking driving lessons at Master Drive of Denver Thursday have been rock climbing, white water rafting and skiing, but getting behind the wheel of a car may be the most thrilling thing they've done in a while.

The student drivers were from the Colorado Center for the Blind and they were very excited to do something that many of us do everyday and sometimes wish we didn't.

"It's going to be awesome," said 30-year-old Jason Fayre, who was about to drive for the first time. "It's going to be great. Probably won't let me go as fast as I'd like to go, but such is life. I think it'll be a very, very exhilarating feeling to be able to do that."

No, you can't earn a drivers license for real this way, but that doesn't detract from the fun the student drivers have.
