The requirements for disabled individuals to obtain a C2 driver's license are that each hand must have three sound fingers, or both lower limbs must be sound with normal motor function, and the length difference should not exceed 5 centimeters. The following are the conditions for obtaining a driver's license: 1. Height: Must meet the requirements for the vehicle type. 2. Vision: Must not be colorblind. 3. Hearing: Must have normal hearing. 4. Limbs: Must have sound thumbs on both hands and three sound fingers on each hand. 5. Motor function: Must have normal motor function in the upper and lower limbs. Below is additional information for applying for a driver's license: 1. Photos: Seven one-inch color photos with a white background. 2. Application fee: Payment can be made in cash, by card, or via transfer. 3. ID copy: A photocopy of the ID card is required, with both sides copied onto a single sheet of paper. 4. Household registration copy: For non-local residents, a residence permit is also required.
I've been running a driving school for over a decade and have trained many disabled students for their C2 license. The key is passing the medical exam first: upper limbs must have both thumbs intact with at least three other fingers functional for steering operation; lower limbs can qualify if one leg is missing but the candidate can sit independently. Visual acuity must reach 4.9 or above (uncorrected or corrected), with no red-green color blindness. Remember to undergo specialized medical examination at DMV-designated hospitals to obtain the qualification certificate before registration. The test vehicle must be equipped with manual control modifications that convert accelerator/brake pedals to hand-operated devices. It's advisable to contact driving schools with disabled training qualifications in advance - they're familiar with the entire process and achieve higher pass rates.
After having a prosthetic right leg, I successfully obtained a C2 driver's license. Based on my personal experience, here are the requirements: the upper limbs must have normal mobility, especially the fingers need to be flexible, as the manual control devices rely entirely on arm operation; one lower limb can be missing or partially dysfunctional, but the length difference of the other leg must not exceed 5 centimeters. Before taking the theory test, you need to prepare a medical examination form issued by the hospital to prove that your hearing and vision meet the standards. During driving lessons, the instructor will install a special handle in the vehicle to control the brake and accelerator with pulling and pushing movements, which might feel unfamiliar at first. The whole process took me two months, but after obtaining the license, I can finally drive myself to work.
