Get a cat. When someone honks, it'll go berzerk and you'll know when to procede with caution.

My wife is hearing and I can't count the times she has told me that there is a siren going off somewhere while we were driving (I can hear it but it has to be fairly close). I agree that driving for the most part doesn't require much in the way of hearing but there are many instances where it can and does save the day.

I have a friend who recently told me this story. He very HOH and just got a CI a couple of months ago. He said that both he and his wife were taking own their cars to go somewhere. She (who is hearing) backed up first and was waiting in the street for him to come out and go first. He backed up and didn't realize exactly where she was and ran right into her. She did the "natural" thing honked the horn but he, of course, heard nothing. He had thought that she left already which is why he didn't pay attention to the mirrors. Most people with hearing would have heard the horn honking and stopped to figure out what was going on.

When i first met my girlfriend, i had been around many other deaf people and I asked her one day "whats the silliest thing anyone has ever asked your about being deaf" and she said "my GOD! you have no clue how many people ask me how or if i can drive and if i use the braile at the atm" i laughed so hard.

I think its so odd that people ask this. Id say that a bit of a majority of hearing people have their minds so focused on something else that their hearing actually becomes a distraction. Either listening to music or yapping on the cell phone, heck even both at the same time.

I know that I most certainly depend on visual cues more so than I do hearing, I am usually so tuned into NPR that I notice a cop or any sort of other emergency by use of mirrors and visual cues far before i would notice it by hearing it.

Silly but true, I much rather be on a road full of deaf drivers that are actually focused on what the are supposed to be focused on ,when they arent using their SK to text ; o) than a road full of hearing drivers who are sometimes so distracted by what they hear that they go crazy.

I know for me its so confusing on the road when a bunch of people hear an ambulance, so some pull over, some go faster, some slow down, everything gets sort of erratic. And so you find your self trying to react to the other drivers more than you are trying to get out of the way of the ambulance.

I think some people use large rearview mirrors, but I don't know of anything else.
I'm a design student, trying to come up with some ideas for a project. I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Magic.

Lemme ask you a question in return, how do hearing people have sex?

But that's not a deaf or hearing issue, is it? It's happened to me a couple of times that I thought a cop wanted me to pull over, but it had nothing to do with whether or not I could hear his siren. It was always the lights that caught my attention, and I figured out what he wanted from the direction he was looking, not a megaphone or whatever it is they use.

I completely agree. I do this as well because of emergency vehicles, as you mention, and also because people drive horribly in my area and go racing through intersections long after the light has turned red. I also look both ways before I start, I agree this isn't a deaf or hearing issue either.

I TRY to remember to drive with my window cracked so that I can both hear and see emergency vehicles (I drive with my radio on but not cranked) but unfortunately when stopped at intersections in questionable areas at night I don't feel safe with my window down at all.

Didn't he look behind him or check the rearview mirror? I'm pretty anal about such things when backing up.

Also it hasn't prevented some hearing lady from backing up into me when I honked the horn at her.

You would think so...I did kid him about it. I myself would never forget to double check what is going on around me especially when I'm driving. Insurance is not cheap you know!

I would agree some hearing people forget what their hearing is for... I think it is the fact that some people can't chew gum and walk at the same time.

R2D2 · 11-01-2006, 10:33 PM

Anyone here have a manual gear stick?

In the UK I learned to drive using a manual gear stick as virtually every car then was manual and that was something that a hearing person would use their hearing for, knowing when to change the gears. However I went by feeling the car. You can teach yourself to feel when the car needs to change gear. I have an automatic now though

:raises hand:

I can't drive with an automatic transmission daily or I'd fall asleep at the wheel! It's cumbersome and boring.

Unfortunately, the wife can't drive with them and so we have automatics.

Being deaf is great because your nice dream isn't interrupted by your screaming passengers.

Reading this thread has been enlightnening. I had never really given too much thought to hearing impaired drivers. But it does make sense that a deaf driver would be much safter than others.

I have a short essay to write for Psych class and the topic I chose was regarding deaf people's driving experiences. This should be quite helpful.

HadanIdea · 06-25-2010, 03:34 PM

Hello,
Let me start with saying that the hearing impaired probably do drive better on average then those of us blaring the radio or yakking on a cell phone.
I saw something on TV that lead me to believe the hearing impaired were not allowed to drive... I thought that can't be right? Turns out it wasn't just an old movie. But it got me to thinking... you could put a sort of ambient lighting system in your vehicle controlled and modulated by a computer chip that is directly connected to microphones on the outside of the vehicle. Nothing too bright and nothing that strobes or flashes too much as to distract the driver... but rather simply different colors of ambient light within the vehicle corresponding to different environments of sound. For example when in the case of an emergency vehicle the microphones could pick up the rhythmic pattern of the Ambulance or fire truck from a mile or so away and progressively change the ambient light in the vehicle towards a "more red colored" state. In the case of someone honking at you a degree of orange could be implemented... obviously most of us who have suffered the loud annoyance of a honk wish we couldn't hear when some ass is honking at us
but there are the rare occasions when someone is actually using their horn to warn you of impending doom. One of the main premises of this concept is to not add more distraction for a driver relying on sight solely so these lights could in now way obstruct vision in any way or be too bright or change colors too fast... another approach might be vibrations in the seat instead of a lighting system that may only serve to distract the driver...Just a thought having read some of the posts above sounds like hearing impaired drive better for the most part..this might serve as a solution to the rare occasions when an emergency vehicle sneaks up on you in between your rear view mirror checks or when someone needs to get your attention is attempting to do so with their horn.
Another 10 years and cybernetics will hand out the ability to hear to those without on the regular. I was reading an article about a deaf man who heard Mozart for the first time was very interesting.
anywho

Let's not get started on that, shall we???

Seriously, I am enraged by seeing drivers with their handset in their hand and not paying attention to the road. WA just passed a law making texting and talking on a cell phone a primary offence. But there are still idiots that insist upon doing that endangering everyone around them.

In reading your posts here, I am finding that it actually seems safer not hearing while driving. This makes one rely more upon sight (and possibly an additional 6th sense?) and have to pay more attention to the road. Correct me if I am wrong, but that's the impression I am getting here...

diehardbiker · 06-25-2010, 04:04 PM

Question, why are there so many accidents? Mostly are hearing people involved. Why I ask? that is because if hearing is a requirement, there should not be any accidents. This proves that having hearing is not going to prevent any accidents.

So, here is sarcasm, if a blind drivers were allowed to drive, will there be any accident? This is obviously, right? So, this proves which is more important part of driving, hearing or visual?

Hope this answer your question.

rockin'robin · 06-25-2010, 05:11 PM

I've never had an accidents, just a close few calls...only speeding tickets. A lot of hearies are "scared silly" to ride with a deafie.... I took a hearing friend home once, and she had her hands on the dashboard, "holding on" the entire way....(

)...and hearies are constantly looking around, and pointing out (as if I'm not gonna stop for a red light)....

Someone did ask me years ago..."ur deaf, but you drive"?....And I replied..."yeah, sure do, since I was 15 or so....I drive like Hell...but I damn sure get there."...She gave me a "

ing look".

**shel90** · 06-25-2010, 05:16 PM

Since the title says "How do deaf people drive?"

Ok this is what I do as a deaf person..

I get my car keys

Walk to my car

I turn off the alarm and unlock it via remote

Open the door

Get in

Put the keys in the ingnition

Start the car

Put it in "D"

Press the gas pedal

Drive on the right side of the road

Stop when cars in front of me stop, at a stop sign, at a red traffic light

When changing lanes, I look inmy rearview mirror to check for cars

I follow all traffic laws

Sometimes I go over the speed limit

Sometimes I do not

I arrive at my destination

I park when there is space

I put the car on "P"

I turn the keys to turn off the car

I open the door

I get out

I close the door

I turn on the alarm and lock it via remote

I go on my merry way.

That's how deaf people drive.

***naisho*** · 06-25-2010, 05:53 PM

I text while driving.

I pop a wheelie when I go down the driveway. Why not? It's the longest open strip I'll be able to drive on all day.

Waiting at reds, I peel out on first gear like I'm driving for formula 1 when the light is green.

I don't wait for pedestrians to cross the street. it's their fault if I hit them.

I slam the gas when I see a yellow light, sometimes up to ~+50mph.

I do donuts in empty parking lots.

I make u-turns on one way streets.

I go 20mph over the speed limit always. 99mph on highways, 50mphs in school zones.

Oh, I'm hearing by the way.

Don't know where you got that from. Most people you ask if they'd rather be deaf or blind will say deaf. The average person thinks blindness is worse.

whatdidyousay! · 06-25-2010, 06:44 PM

I drive the same way any person with good hearing drive! And because I am HOH I use my rear view and sides mirrors more often. Why are people so hung up on how deaf and HOH people drive?
