BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentine police arrested a blind man driving a pickup truck with the help of his 13-year-old
daughter and charged him with dangerous conduct, a police spokesman said Saturday.

''The blind man was driving fairly well, although he made some pretty abrupt maneuvers which attracted the attention of a
patrol car,'' the spokesman told the official Telam news agency in the southern Argentine city of Trelew.

''The officers were amazed to discover that the man's daughter was acting as a guide. She was turning the steering wheel
while he changed gears, accelerated and braked according to her instructions,'' the spokesman said.

The man and his daughter were on a drive through the center of Trelew when they were stopped. The man recently went blind
because of diabetes and had a valid driver's license.

After being charged the man was released pending court action. His vehicle was impounded.
