Get both feet on the wheel

By: Kayla Miller

It was hard not to blog about this one. I was surfing the web, looking for random information when I came across this article from CNET news: Man with no arms caught driving car with his feet. WHAT! Now, that's an article that's hard to avoid.

According to a British newspaper, The Sun, the driver, Zing Shen, was pulled over but was stunned the cops issued him with a public safety summons. He must think cops believe it's completely normal for people to drive with their feet!

Although this man is from Beijing, the media knows that this story would catch the viewers attention to know that a man is actually able to drive with his own feet.

Also, I'm glad to know the journalist of the CNET article, Chris Matyszczyk, had a sense of humor throughout the article. When he states, "... I cannot help but wonder just how often he uses his blinkers." and "I heartily recommend that Mr. Shen come to California to open driving school." And to know that he ended off his article with this, "... if you could learn to answer a cell phone and hold it with your feet while driving, that would enhance road safety, wouldn't it?" only makes the article that much better.

The article is worth the read.

That's the way journalism should grab our attention at all times: find stories and add humor.
