Can Deaf-Mute People Obtain a Driver's License?

[DeReese]

Yes, they can obtain a driver's license. However, according to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," they must wear hearing aids. Precautions for deaf-mute people applying for a driver's license: They must be able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 50 cm from a tuning fork. Those with hearing impairments but can meet the above conditions by wearing hearing aids can apply for a driver's license for small cars or small automatic transmission vehicles. To apply for a driver's license for specially modified small automatic transmission passenger vehicles for the disabled, they must submit a medical certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" do not specify requirements regarding the ability to speak, only hearing requirements. Driver's license application conditions: For large buses, the height must be at least 155 cm. For medium-sized buses, the height must be at least 150 cm. Vision: For large buses or tram vehicles, uncorrected or corrected vision in both eyes must be at least 5.0. For other vehicle types, uncorrected or corrected vision in both eyes must be at least 4.9. Color vision: No red-green color blindness.
