Good point on the smell thing. I’ll be out driving with my blind friend and if we want something to eat he will rattle off all the places he can smell. And he drives there flawlessly

Here are some more fun facts about driving blind, the car horn can be used for echolocation and the exhaust pipe fits a cane to see if there are drivers behind you.

Best parts about driving blind. They save a lot of money on windshield wipers.
