Can Deaf-Mute People Drive?
1 Answers
According to national regulations, deaf-mute individuals are not permitted to drive. Below are the physical requirements for applying for a motor vehicle driver's license: 1. Color Vision: No red-green color blindness. 2. Hearing: The ability to discern the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 50 cm from a tuning fork. Individuals with hearing impairments who can meet these conditions by wearing hearing aids may apply for a driver's license for small cars or small automatic transmission vehicles. 3. Vision: For applying for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or tramways, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other types of vehicles, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart.
