All of those limitations can be overcome with effort and determination."Deaf", "blind" and "Republican" all have varying levels of inherent limitations.
I'm willing to wager that this stat is true because there are likely a lot more non-impaired (hearing, at least) drivers on the road than not. Larger sample size will likely mean a higher number of accidents.Do you know hearing people get in more accidents than deaf people?
The title says...."deaf people" not hearing impaired, not 80% deaf or other variations of deafness. To me, deaf people" means people that can't hear anything.
Just like blind people are people who can't see anything.....not the descriptive legally blind or 70% blind.
So, in answering the OP's question.........should "deaf people" drive for UPS ? I already answered no.
The hearing loss had a minimal impact on him in school and he did get pretty good at reading lips----most of the time he was spot on but there were times when he wasn't even close and we would look at him and go "Huh?".

Why do they test to see if you are colorblind at every DOT physical? Either you are colorblind at birth or you are not. This is not something that can change over time.
Yes they are still doing it here. I don't know anything about color blindness, but hearing loss most certainly does change over time. Just never for the better.When was your last DOT physical? I think they may have stopped doing this test as I don't recall taking it last time.

I don't think deaf people should drive period, just as blind people should not drive eitherRe: Morelucks thread
Should UPS hire deaf people to drive package cars? Please post your reasons for or against.
