  1. I must admit that most of driving involves visual negotiation, only rare occasions where you would actually need to hear something.

    For example if the vehicle that you were driving was making an unusual noise, such as churning or viabrating, you could be more aware that the fault existed. Another situation is if you were over-revving or needed to hear emergency patrol vehicle's sirens.


  2. Many deaf drivers use special devices that let them know when fire or ambulance sirens are wailing or car horns are blaring.

    To enable drivers to distinguish between sounds, many of these devices can rate the type of sound and alert users on a multi-light panel.

    Some deaf drivers also use special panoramic mirrors so they can see more of what is around and behind their car.

    In the U.S., there are few restrictions on the deaf obtaining a license to drive. In certain states, deaf drivers may be required to have special licenses to indicate that the driver is deaf.

    Not all countries permit deaf people to drive, however; according to statistics from the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD), at least 26 countries do not allow deaf citizens to hold a driver's license.
