This Ananova Story describes Austrian police stopping a magician from driving a 12-mile stretch of mountain road blindfolded, but not for the reason you think:
"A German magician's plans to drive along a winding mountain road blindfolded were scuppered after police discovered he did not have the necessary permits."
"So sorry, mein Herr. You need to hoff form ZL-242a, Permission To Drive Blindfolded on a Mountain Road. Vot you hoff iz form ZL-242b, Declaration of Imported Sausage In Excess Of Eleven Kilos. You'll have to see ze officer at ze Ministry Of Incredibly Stupid Stunts."
Actually, I don't know what I'm getting all worked up about. Blindfold driving is pretty easy to fake.
