One-armed woman "driven" to despair.

If she passes the test - the same test that is given to those with 2 arms - and doesn't fail using the same criteria as everyone else - then how can anyone tell her she can't drive a manual?

I have a family member that is blind (one eye removed, other has between 3-5% vision) and that person has a valid drivers license, and they recently sat the test to get a boat license....

Do you think my family member should be driving a car, or a boat??
Whether or not you think they should or shouldn't - according to the law and the valid license they hold - its legal.

Is it logical for a one armed woman to be driving a manual car - probably not... But who's to say she doesn't drive safer than some people with 2 arms???

Thats exactly what I am saying and your family member should not be on the road either if he can not see.

Life is like that....like I said I want to play in the NBL but it's not going to happen so should I scream discrimination, I also want to be brain surgeon, but I have parkinsons, so should I be able to do surgery on your brain....I would say no, so yes life is like that, not everyone can do everything, nor should they we all have to live within our own limitations.

Get used to it, it's not discrimination it's called life
