STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. (AP) -- A legally blind man charged with recklessly driving a golf cart says it was the dog's fault.
Samuel McClain of Stockbridge, Georgia, drove a golf cart along two miles of cart paths last summer to arrive at a Mexican restaurant. Peachtree City police say a friend acted as McClain's eyes, telling him where to steer.
His attorney says McClain managed to park the cart safely -- but then his seeing-eye dog pawed the accelerator, and the cart lurched into a parked van.
The dog is off the hook, but not the two men. A judge sentenced them this week to a year probation and fined them 675 dollars each.
Life's a bitch... then one steps on the accelerator of your golf cart.
