![]() Whereas they're going to ask me what's the sign say, when do you see it, what color is it, what shape is it, what color is the car coming toward you, where are the police cars, et cetera, et cetera.Īnd to me that just feels like it's too busy. Because I've been alerted that my test is actually gonna be more rigorous this time than what I've had previously. The concerns I have is of course taking the test. So what are some of the concerns that you have in terms of going back for you license again now that you've already been driving for a while and been away for a little bit? Jen sent me an email and I said hey listen I'll come down and we can do a video and help other people. ![]() Okay, so now you're getting ready to go back for road tests, and that's what I'm doing here. So it must have pretty heartbreaking when the DMV said you can't drive anymore. So it was a restricted license, but it was fine. So the last probably six years of my driving, I had a 55 mile an hour or less roads and no driving at night. I did have that, then when they asked me to retest, I had to do all of it again and I said I don't need the night, I don't need the highway. No I started out with a full license, I had to take a highway test, a normal test, and a night test to have that. The last time, did you have a full license? So now some smart drivers may not know that there are restricted licenses and those types of things. Restricted Driver's Licenses (No Highways, No Night Driving, Must Wear Prescription Glasses, Etc.) To see the same way you would see it at 100 feet. 20/100 is what you see clearly at 100 feet, I need to be 20 feet away from. So must of us would think that our vision, or 20/20 is what we consider perfect. So I'm in the process of getting my license. So of course after 10 years of not driving, but having been able to drive, I wanted to drive again. I recently went to the eye doctor and was shocked to find out that my acuity is now 20/100. They changed the law in 2008 here to make it that 20/200 was not going to work, there was nothing you could do about it. They changed the rules and I was driving with an acuity of 20/200 at that time, considered legally blind, but they basically made me take several different driving tests so that I could basically prove that I could drive safely, which I did. Okay, and then what happened at 30? 20/200 is Deemed Legally Blind Okay, and that was sort of, so when you were a teenager, when that was the first time you drove? So how long had you been driving previously? Rick with Smart Drive Test talking to Jen today and Jen is getting her license again and is having some challenges with the DMV because she has low eyesight.Īnd so she's gonna talk to us today about that, learning to drive with that disability and helping other people with disabilities and eyesight issues. Department of Transport Revoked Jen's Driver's License When Eye Sight Deteriorated (laughs) - So you should say we're back and we're still alive.Īpparently people with low vision can safely drive. If you have low vision and meet minimum licensing standards, GET your license.Roads without markings or traffic are challenging for those that are visually impaired.This driving technique also works for all drivers in inclement weather. Drivers with low vision need to use landmarks to locate the road.Overcast days are the ideal lighting conditions for drivers with low vision.People who are visually impaired can learn to drive.For the DOT in Washington state and other licensing agencies, 20/100 is the minimum required for someone that is visually impaired to earn a license.A person with 20/200 vision is considered legally blind.Can someone who is legally blind earn a driver's license?
