Ahh you're lucky! I figured it out my vision level is 20/40 without glasses. What is yours?? I am not really worse RP or US. I did test on drive a car. My fiance is real worrying about me. I told him I can see anything. It can't be possibly. I did drive for test in my dad. He let me drive for learning drive when I was 14. I had no problem with drive. My b**tard old ophthalmologist didn't allow me to drive. He got made me angry and crying. He isn't really friendly to me and my mom. I got another ophthalmologist from my hometown. He is mean to me! He won't let me drive or take a contact lenses. I got a new Ukrainian ophthalmologist lady. She is very nice to me. She do understand how do I feeling. I told her I want to take a contact lenses soft. She said yeah! I have no problem with it at all. If I can't drive. I have to get a stem cell surgery for my vision in future.
1 of man whom from my school together. He have a worse Usher Syndrome than I am. He used to drive in 1997 until 2002. He have a trouble with his vision at night. His friend helped him to drive on a wheel. I was so bitter because he was driving. It's not fair to me. I became rebellion at my mom for tell to supervisor for not give me a Drive Education class when I was Sophomore. I wasn't forgive my mom for tell. She had to tell him from doctor's said no. The man was a drive. His vision is getting worse and go bad to tunnels. His doctor commanded him not to drive anymore. He is going to be a blinds. He can't see anything just a little tunnels vision. It's so sad!

I had diagnosed at twice, first time was in 1994 and found no RP/US and again in 2000 and found that I have RP/US but more difficult to make fact, it was their opinion right now, also I don't have any symptom, such as difficult to see at night or experience on loss of side vision.
If your RP isn't severe then you are supposed to drive, oh well.
