As far as your comments on deaf people not driving. I find that insulting. As a disabled person I take offense to that. Why don't you grow up. I have had enough first hand experience with discrimination against disabled people without having to be subjected to it here.
I am not intending to discriminate against anyone regardless of race or handicap. I'm sure if I live long enough my hearing will decrease. however, common sense should prevail in most situations. I think you would agree that if you are DEAF that you are lacking a critical sense that is needed to drive safely for yourself and others. Onstar can't help a DEAF person, you wouldn't be able to hear it or read lips. I do not think blind people should drive, but then again, that is the most critical sense needed to drive. Here in oklahoma, i know some people have to pass a hearing test to get their license renewed, so I am not the only one that feels this away. If I were DEAF, then I would not be driving. Hearing impaired is different because you can hear somewhat. we are talking about DEAF.
