NY h...I understand you practice in New York State?<br /><br />NY has a law on the books specifically prohibiting blind persons from having a drivers' license.<br /><br /><i>"Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Part, if the department has received notification that the applicant or licensee has been certified legally blind, such certification may provide grounds for refusal to issue an original or renewal driver license and any current driver license or learner's permit may be suspended."</i> -- 15 NYCRR 1.A.5.10<br /><br />So regardless of the EEG, his patient ain't gonna get a license. So why bother?Shalomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667927130052597028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-22237516903263389772010-03-16T20:12:37.475-04:002010-03-16T20:12:37.475-04:00I assume you passed him with a caveat of: "ma...I assume you passed him with a caveat of: "may not operate a vehicle on public loads".ERPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15973334581468131595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-29878520051409555012010-03-16T19:21:17.932-04:002010-03-16T19:21:17.932-04:00The patient/driver would fit right in here in Miss...The patient/driver would fit right in here in Missouri!The Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17696168395133075354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-47655335497578443512010-03-16T17:13:48.045-04:002010-03-16T17:13:48.045-04:00Reminds me of an episode of Mythbusters.
