Armless driver forced to hand over keys

By PHIL DAVIS

LAND O' LAKES, Fla. — There was a time when nothing could keep Michael
Francis Wiley from behind the wheel — not even a triple amputation
that makes simple tasks like tying a shoe impossible.

Even police, who busted Wiley so many times that it's become a felony
for him to drive, couldn't stop him.

But now he is at the end of the road: He is scheduled to face a judge
Friday for sentencing on a new round of felony traffic and drug
possession charges. Prosecutors want to put him in jail for five
years, and this time, Wiley says he's turning in the keys for good.

"I'm beat. The white flag is up," said Wiley, 40, from behind thick
glass in the Pasco County (Fla.,) Jail. "You can only bang your head
against the wall so long before it hurts."

Wiley lost his arms and most of his left leg in a 1980 accident when
he was 13. He fell off an elevated train platform while fooling around
at an abandoned switching station in New York City, and grabbed a live
electrical line to break his fall. He touched metal while trying to
regain his footing, and roughly 11,000 volts of electricity surged
through his arms and legs.

Wiley learned to live without limbs. He taught himself to drive. 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.

Driving, he says, is one of the few things that lets him feel free and
exert his independence.

"I'm an excellent driver," Wiley said. "It is something I can do well
by myself. I've been thoroughly tested by the department of motor
vehicles and I passed with flying colors."

On that point, authorities disagree. His clashes with authorities over
his driving habits date back two decades.

He once had a valid license, but it has been suspended several times
for motor vehicle and drug infractions.
