[QUOTE="CJinx, post: 1264313, member: 37078"] 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. Personally; I feel that adequate hearing should be a requirement for operation of a commercial vehicle. If someone is found to be hearing impaired, but their handicap can be mitigated by an implant or hearing aid, then yes they can drive. However, if their handicap cannot be overcome; then they should not be operating heavy machinery in public. This isn't a matter of discrimination, it's a matter of safety for everyone involved.
