I was digging through pile of papers to be shredding or saving and i found this article that i cut out back in April, 25, 1995 And what do you think of this article?
The article says:
For Your Ears Only!
Deaf People are world's best drivers!
Deaf people make better drivers than people with normal hearing - and they could be the world's safest motorists, a fascinating new study shows.
That's because they compensate for their disability by concentrating on watching the road, the research showed.
"They've got it all over us hearing people when it comes to driving," said a spokesman for the National Association of Driver Educators for the Disabled.
"They've always taken in everything with their eyes and as a result they tend to see everything when they're at the wheel."
And not being able to hear ambulance and other emergency sirens doesn't make deaf drivers unsafe at all. The study found that deaf drivers check their rear view mirrors frequently and can tell immediately if they should pull to the side of the road.
I got this article from Weekly World News on April 25, 1995.
