We are visible and aware of what going on around us whilst driving.

Hearing doesn't require to drive, Deaf people can drive, no matter if you can't hear. Didn't you know that Deaf people are better drivers than hearing people? (No offense, hearies)

Yeah, that's is just so annoying, wasn't it? But I was glad when a young woman, were talking to me in relation of some work, I told her that I was deaf, she didn't walk away, she went over to my desk and found a piece of paper and a pen and wrote what she was asking me earlier and the end it went smoothly.
