Stupid is as stupid does.
While all legally blind means is that vision is not correctable up to a certain standard, that is still a great reason to not go blazing off on an ATV. It’s hard enough to see every little hole with good vision.
And what’s the deal about not having a license? I didn’t know anyone needed a license to offroad an ATV.

Definitely don't need one on private property though, which this sounds like actually to place on.

Well at least he didn’t ask to borrow a rifle out on the range.

Don’t tell me, let me guess....he saw the movie, “Scent Of A Woman” and figured that, if Al Pacino could drive a Ferrari blind, he could drive an ATV blind....

I kind of figured it was an ignoramus reporter/reporterette just trying to show how little they truly know.

I can’t see why it is that people are always “considered” or “diagnosed as” legally blind. Either one is legally blind or not. Writers should not lose sight of that fact.

Police should charge the guy who let him borrow the ATV in the first place. I’m guessing this will wind up in the Darwin Awards somewhere down the road.

But Haueter said Hoyle didnt have a license to drive, and that he was considered legally blind. You don't need a license to drive an ATV. In the mountains of West Virginia I've seen children as young as 5 riding ATV's.
