Can DEAF people drive a car?
Boy, there are sure a bunch of idiots answering questions on this site. Of course deaf people can drive cars. From page 75 of the California Drivers Handbook, located at http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl600.pdf HEARING Hearing is more important to driving than many people realize. The sound of horns, a siren, or screeching tires can warn you of danger. Sometimes you can hear a car but you cannot see it, especially if it is in your blind spots. Even people with good hearing cannot hear well if the radio, CD, or tape deck is blaring. While driving, do not wear a headset or earplugs in both ears. Hearing problems, like bad eyesight, can come on so slowly that you do not notice them. Drivers who know they are deaf or hearing- impaired can adjust. They can learn to rely more on their seeing habits.
