Driving and the Deaf or Hearing Impaired person

The following link has some useful information for Deaf and hearing impaired clients regarding the regulations and entitlements for driving, and for taking their tests.
This information was produced to help driving instructors in teaching Deaf or hearing impaired clients, but is excellent information for the deaf person too. Print copies of this booklet to give to any prospective driving instructors, or to family members that may be helping with driving practice, in order that a common vocabulary can be established.
