THE EDITOR, Sir:SOMETIMES IN life one just has to admit that we will not be efficient in everything. We just have to be satisfied with the way we are and with whatever disability we may have.
Driving on the streets of Jamaica is not as easy as eating a lollipop. While driving, all your faculties have to be in tip- top shape. I do not agree with deaf people getting a driver's licence.
Your horn is just as important as, if not more than, the brake. A lot of accidents have been saved with the pip of the horn, which is used to get other people's attention. How will the horn be use to help the deaf? Furthermore, when you take your vehicle to the examination department your horn has to be in good condition. Or won't the examiners look at your horn anymore? You should be able to hear your immediate surroundings.
You should be able to read, you should be able to hear, you should not have sickness that can cause sudden collapse to be able to get a driver's licence.
Will somebody please explain to Senator Floyd Morris that you don't only drive with your eyes but your entire body? "It ruff out de". Safe driving.
I am, etc.,
FLOYD SALMON
