TALLINN- For the third time in the last year, blind driver Kristjan Gradolf, 20, was caught and arrested on Tuesday in the city of Tartu, in southern Estonia. The driver was also drunk at the time of the arrest.

 Gradolf had a friend instruct him while he drove, and according to him, he is “good at it.”

The friend will have to pay a $1500 fine. The friend was also the owner of the car.

Gradolf gained notoriety last August, with police not realizing he was blind until he couldn’t find the tube for the breathalyzer test.

The first time he was faced with a large fine, the second time he spent a total of five days in jail, and yet he still continues to drive. However this time, he faces criminal repeat offender charges.
