What to Do About Color Weakness in Driver's License Tests?
1 Answers
According to the law, individuals with red-green color blindness are not allowed to take the driver's license test. However, color weakness is not the same as color blindness. When applying for a driver's license, you can seek assistance from the driving school, which can then coordinate with the hospital. As long as you pass the doctor's examination, you can proceed with the test. Moreover, color weakness does not necessarily mean red-green color weakness. As long as you can clearly distinguish traffic lights and your naked-eye or corrected vision reaches 4.9 or above, you are eligible. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Color Weakness: Also known as color vision deficiency. It is a mild form of color blindness where the individual can recognize colors but has lower sensitivity. People with color weakness have poorer color discrimination and can only see colors when they are highly saturated. The most common types are red weakness (Type A) and green weakness (Type B), while blue weakness is extremely rare. Red blindness refers to poor discrimination of red, and green blindness refers to poor discrimination of green. 2. Driver's License Test: Generally, color weakness does not pose a problem for obtaining a driver's license, but the final decision depends on the medical examination results. Different hospitals may have varying standards for the medical check-up. If one hospital deems you ineligible, you can try another. If that doesn't work, you can negotiate with the driving school to explore possible solutions.
