New Port Richey, Fla. - A man with no arms and one leg who wouldn't stop driving despite a long list of traffic violations was sentenced to five years in prison on felony driving.

Michael Wiley, 40, taught himself to drive after losing both arms and a leg in an electrical accident when he was 13. He has already spent more than three years in prison for habitually driving without a licence, kicking a state trooper and other charges.

He once had a valid licence, but it has been suspended several times since 1985. He starts the car with his toes, shifts with his knee and steers with the stump of his left arm. He turns on the lights with his teeth.

In his most recent brush with the law last May, Wiley sped off in a Ford Explorer when police approached him at a convenience store, officials said. Officers pursued, but called off the chase after eight minutes because they did not want to put others in danger, police said.

Wiley said he's done driving.

"I'm beat. The white flag is up," he said. "You can only bang your head against the wall so long before it hurts."
go

Can't he use prosthetics ?

Sounds like a fiesty guy...with all those traffic violations, lucky he's never caused a serious accident.

"kicking a state trooper" lmao yea right, the guy has one leg, what did he hover in the air or something?

Poor guy, I feel bad for him, but then again he has no hand so he can't drop the soap......

Who cares about the main going to jail; get that reporter to focus more on how this "kick" actually went down. In detail.

that does make you really wonder

Maybe he kicked the guy with his little stump.
