1 Answers
People with red-green color weakness can obtain a driver's license. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the physical condition requirements for driver's license applicants stipulate that applicants cannot have red-green color blindness, but there are no restrictions for red-green color weakness. If someone is color blind, specifically red-green color blind, they cannot apply for a driver's license. Below are the impacts of color weakness on daily life: 1. Heredity: Since color blindness and color weakness are hereditary diseases that can be passed on to offspring, avoiding consanguineous marriages and investigating the family genetic history before marriage, as well as taking measures to reduce the birth rate of offspring with color blindness, are effective preventive methods. 2. Eligibility for a driver's license: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the physical condition requirements for driver's license applicants stipulate that applicants cannot have red-green color blindness, but there are no restrictions for red-green color weakness. Most countries, including the United States, Japan, and Europe, have already relaxed the requirements for color weakness in small vehicle licenses. 3. Slower color recognition ability: Color weakness mainly involves a reduced ability to distinguish colors, which is less severe than color blindness, and includes red weakness, green weakness, etc. People with color weakness can see the same colors as normal people, but their ability to recognize colors is slower or poorer.
