A Deaf friend of mine wants to get a driver's license. This person has never had a license, and has never taken driver's training. This person is 25 years old, so lessons thru high school are not possible. My friend will have to take lessons from a private driving school.
My questions:
1. Have any of you used a private driving school?
No..I took driver's ed at my public high school without any visual cues. LOL! I know...how did I understand anything?
2. If yes, did you use an interpreter?
never
3. If you used a terp, who paid for the terp?
No terp
4. If you used a terp, how did you use the terp? (That is, where did the terp sit in the car, etc.)
I just applied for my driver's license test at the DMV.. first driving test with an instructor, I failed cuz I was trying to read his lips and I ran thru a stop sigh.
2nd time, I passed cuz I learned from my mistakes. Didnt spend a long time looking at the instructor..just kept it to 1 sec
5. Any other suggestions?
never experienced accodomations while taking the driver license tests so I
Thanks!
