Can People with Total Color Weakness Obtain a Driver's License?

[OPenelope]

Yes. People with color weakness can obtain a driver's license, but those with color blindness cannot. According to Article 12, Section 2, Point 3 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Color discrimination ability: no red-green color blindness, so color weakness is acceptable. Total color weakness is less severe than total color blindness, with no abnormalities in vision and no other complications associated with total color blindness. When objects are deeply and vividly colored, they can be distinguished; however, if the colors are light and unsaturated, differentiation becomes difficult. The physical examination items for obtaining a driver's license include: 1. Age: 18-70 years old. 2. Height: No restrictions. 3. Vision: Naked or corrected vision in both eyes must reach 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart (equivalent to 0.8 on the E-chart). 4. Color discrimination ability: No red-green color blindness. 5. Hearing: Ability to discern the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 50 cm from a tuning fork. 6. Upper limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact, with normal limb and finger movement functions. 7. Lower limbs: Normal movement function, with a difference in leg length not exceeding 5 cm. 8. Trunk and neck: No movement dysfunction.
