Can people with color weakness get a driver's license?
1 Answers
People with color weakness can get a driver's license because traffic regulations only prohibit those with red-green color blindness from obtaining a driver's license and do not specify that color weakness disqualifies someone. In addition to color discrimination ability, the driver's license test also has vision requirements for the eyes. For example, ordinary cars require both naked eyes or corrected vision to be above 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. Color weakness, also known as anomalous trichromacy or color vision deficiency, is a mild form of color blindness where individuals can recognize colors but with reduced sensitivity. Below is more relevant information: 1. Legal basis: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," for a C1 driver's license, applicants must have no red-green color blindness. Vision requirements: Both naked eyes or corrected vision must reach 4.9 or above. 2. Color weakness is a mild form of color blindness and is not equivalent to color blindness: Color weakness, also known as anomalous trichromacy or color vision deficiency, is a mild form of color blindness where individuals can recognize colors but with reduced sensitivity. People with color weakness have poorer color discrimination ability and can only see colors when they are highly saturated; they can only distinguish hue changes when there is a significant difference in wavelength. On the other hand, color blindness is the complete inability to distinguish certain or all colors, which has a significant impact on life and work. Color weakness is slightly better than color blindness, and the ability to discriminate colors can be improved by wearing color blindness correction glasses. Since there are many such products on the market, some of which are substandard, it is recommended not to choose cheap options but to select high-quality, certified products.
