Can people with hearing impairment apply for driving school?

Our city is the first in the province to start the disabled to apply for driving. So, what should disabled people pay attention to when applying for driving? What services does the driving school provide for disabled people to learn to drive? What is the difference between disabled people learning to drive and healthy people? Is it safe for disabled people to drive on the road? ...... Yesterday, Yan Chunying, director of the Rights Protection Department of the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation, answered these questions in detail. Q: What are the requirements for disabled people to drive? A: According to the newly revised Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving License, five types of disabled people, such as right lower limb, both lower limbs and hearing impairment, right thumb missing or fingertip missing, can drive a car. Among them, there are more detailed regulations on the physical conditions of disabled people who drive motor vehicles with right lower limbs and both lower limbs, that is, the right foot, both feet to the whole lower limbs are missing or have motor dysfunction, but they have good physical coordination and can sit on their own, and the sitting balance has reached at least the third level of the three-level classification of balance function (the subject recovers and maintains the original position after moving the center of gravity by external force), and the adduction of both shoulder joints reaches 130, and both are operated by both hands. Q: What driver's license can disabled people obtain? Answer: those who have hearing impairment but can tell the direction of the sound source by wearing hearing AIDS 50 cm away from the tuning fork; The thumbs of both hands are sound, and the other fingers of each hand must have three sound fingers; If the motor function of limbs and fingers is normal, but the finger stump is incomplete or the thumb of the right hand is missing, you can apply for a motor vehicle driver's license for small cars and small automatic cars, which is the same as that obtained by normal people. However, if both lower limbs are healthy and have normal motor function, and the unequal length is not more than 5 cm, but the left lower limb is missing or loses motor function, you can only apply for a motor vehicle driver's license for a small automatic car. As for those who have lost their right or both lower limbs but can sit on their own, they can apply for a motor vehicle driver's license (C5 driver's license) for small automatic passenger cars for the disabled. Q: What subjects should disabled people take in driving test? A: The subjects for disabled people to apply for a driver's license are also written test, venue driving skill test and road driving skill test. However, in practice, the driving school should specifically let the disabled master the safe placement methods of wheelchairs and crutches after getting on the bus; The steering wheel, braking and acceleration, lighting and signal operation methods of disabled people with right lower limbs or both lower limbs driving cars. Q: What is the difference between vehicles driven by disabled people and ordinary vehicles? A: The means of transportation used by people with hearing impairment are the same as those used by normal people. Disabled people with both lower limbs or right lower limbs need to install special facilities because they can't step on the accelerator, brake and clutch of ordinary cars with their feet. At the lower right of the steering wheel of the modified car, there are more operating levers connecting the brake and throttle than ordinary cars. In this way, the operating lever converts the braking device and refueling device controlled by human feet into manual control, which makes up for the defects of students with lower limbs disabilities. At the same time, a steering handle is specially installed on the steering wheel, which is convenient for disabled people to operate with one hand. Q: What are the discounts for disabled people to learn to drive? A: It is voluntary for disabled people to learn to drive. Therefore, the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation will not stipulate this. As for preferential policies, they are all formulated by each family. For example, Shanxi Coal Central Hospital, Zhongfuyuan Hospital, Taigang Hospital, Taiyuan People's Hospital, and 264 Hospital, which undertake physical examinations, have set up green channels for physical examinations for the disabled, with a preferential margin of about 40%. The driving school also offered a discount of more than 300 yuan to disabled students in the registration fee. As for the modification of special vehicles for the disabled, it must be carried out in the designated Xiangshan Automobile Trade Group, and its cost is about 3,000 yuan. Q: What preparations has the driving school made for the disabled to learn to drive? A: In order to facilitate disabled people to learn to drive, JD.COM Driving School, which undertakes the training of disabled people's driving, has specially reformed the steps, restaurants and lounges. There are many barrier-free designs in school toilets alone. In order to facilitate wheelchair access for the disabled, all school toilets were paved with ramps, and single doors were replaced with double doors. At the same time, handrails are specially installed in toilets for the disabled. In addition, driving school coaches actively learn some basic sign language in order to communicate with the deaf. Q: Is it safe for disabled people to drive on the road? A: "Will disabled people be unable to cope with emergencies when driving on the road?" This is the most worrying problem for many people at present. In fact, the process of applying for a driver's license for disabled people is the same as that of ordinary students, but it requires a more rigorous and professional physical examination. We believe that we should be qualified drivers as long as we successfully pass the basic operations stipulated in the corresponding subjects. Moreover, the vehicles driven by disabled people are professionally modified according to their needs, and will not pose a safety threat because of their health.
