Man born with one arm fought against the odds to become driving instructor

A man who was born with one arm has fought against the odds to become a driving instructor - in a MANUAL car. Married father-of-two Khuram Iqbal is now one of a small handful of driving instructors who have one arm after refusing to let the fact he wears a prosthetic left arm stop him motoring on. The 31-year-old revealed that reversing with one arm is not tricky as he will use his right arm to do that. "If you think about it," he said, "you don't reverse while you are driving, so it is easy for me to stop and use my right arm to push the gear down heavily, complete my maneouvre and set off." Since qualifying as an instructor seven months ago, Khuram, from Bradford, West Yorks., has already seen eight of his students pass their driving test.
