It seems to me that there is no Deaf driving instructors around...Wow!!! I might the the 1st Deaf driving instructor... LOL
 
My high school driving instructor was deaf and Athletic Director... but retired...
 
Hahaha!!!

Yeah... I guess not.

I need to teach my Aunt how to drive....
She was trying to close up the window at the back seat, looking
at the back window....
while she kept the car rolling....

It was the red light.... and my mom said, "Don't hit that truck!!!!" :-o

My aunt, "What?"

And she looked, she hit the brake fast.
Everybody in the car almost got a whiplash.

And we were looking for a new house for my Aunt...
my Aunt won't slow down...

There was this little hump in the middle of the street....
It was like we were flying in the air....

My mom said, "I need to put on my seatbelt, my sister drives crazy!!!" :eek2:

Yeah, maybe you need to come to Tennessee or Mississippi....
to teach everyone here how to drive... cause the state don't give
driving test to old drivers. But only to new drivers.

Is there anyway you can tell your high school driving instructor to share his stories about his old days of teaching high school kids how to drive? I would love to hear it from your driving instructor...smile :ily:

The American School for the Deaf has Deaf teachers teaching the drivers education courses. It was a bit of a battle because the state told us we couldn't have that - but we won!

Hi! I am Steve Swinton ADI a Driving Instructor in Bolton, North Manchester UK.
I have taught driving to people who are Deaf or have Hearing Difficulties using BSL now for over 15 years.

If you wish to see some of the things we get up to then have a peek at my website at Castle Hill School of Motoring www.aditraining123.co.uk

Thanks and best regards.

I think the person who taught driver's ed at my school was deaf, but not sure.

Personally, I would have a nervous breakdown if I had to teach people how to drive ;).
 
Hi
I up this thread about driving with a deafness.

In France, you have to have a medical exam before starting your theory lessons. Before 2005, deaf people could have a psychiatric exam for, I quote (this is a translation from French) : "detecting mental delay" :eek:

i'm sorry and i don't mean to be very mean but I want to say this - If i were your mom, I would never endanger my own kids by riding in aunt's car. since your aunt drives like that - I would refuse to ride with her and I would forbid my own kids to ride with her. I like my kids and myself to be in one piece and breathing.

1. ask your parent to teach you
2. sign up for driving school like everybody else.

For me, it doesnt involve the nervous breakdown, I have taught two deaf peeps in my friends circle myself to drive manual (with a stick) abd they have passed it all, with few issues and was dealt with.
