Blind Driver Breaks World Speed Record in A Lamborghini
Blind Belgian daredevil Luc Costermans won a world record by driving a lamborghini at 192 miles an hour on a French air strip. Luc was blinded in an accident. He broke the speed record in a borrowed lanborghini. The speed record was broken twice by him. He dedicated the record to a Formula 1 driver Philippe Streiff, who
has been a tetraplegic since an accident in the 1989 Brasil Grand Prix. He also thanked the French airforce and his co-pilot for his success in breaking the speed record. Who says that blind people can’t drive? They can and they do very very fast!
This just goes to show the daredevil in many blind and visually impaired people who want to do something that usually requires a lot of vision. Who knows, maybe some day, blind people may fly airplanes, and spaceships.
Blind people sometimes don’t get enough credit for what they do because the sighted world seams to think that they can’t do something until they’re proven wrong by the blind themselves, and this situation is no acception. Ok, so he can’t drive on a busy highway, that that still doesn’t discredit the fact that he did drive a car, and very fast I might add. After all, blind people ski, go cannooing, and much much more than what the sighted world wants to acknowledge.
Some of us are indeed daredevils, and that’s really good because it pushes us out of our comfort zones and it lets us really explore our world and experience it to the fullest.
