Can People with Green Color Blindness Obtain a Driver's License?

[StCharlotte]

People with green color blindness cannot obtain a driver's license. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction to Color Blindness: Modern medicine has confirmed that so-called "color blindness" is actually the inability of nerve cells to perceive light waves of specific wavelengths, resulting in a difference in the perception of a certain color compared to normal individuals. The world seen by "color-blind" individuals is still colorful. Developed countries around the world have abandoned the term "color blindness" and replaced it with "color vision deficiency." The current physical examination standards for college entrance exams no longer use the term "color blindness" but instead use "color vision deficiency," reflecting the principle of science. Historically, drivers have been the regulators of laws and regulations, constrained by the traditional misconception of "color blindness," making it difficult to avoid the irrationality in setting physical examination standards. 2. Examination Methods: Currently, the method for checking color blindness typically involves using color blindness test charts (such as self-assessment color blindness books). Using color blindness test charts to check for color blindness is feasible for industries with high color discrimination requirements (e.g., chemical, printing, biology, military, etc.). However, using color blindness test charts to assess the ability to distinguish traffic lights is unnecessary because traffic lights only require the ability to distinguish high-contrast single hues, whereas color blindness test charts require the ability to distinguish various hues under different brightness levels. There is a considerable difference in the level of color discrimination required between the two. The inability to distinguish color blindness test charts does not equate to the inability to distinguish single-color red and green lights.
