What's wrong with this picture?
Last time I was in Philly area visiting friends, I saw this license plate and wondered....hmmm if you honk at them, will they just ignore it? If an emergency vehicle is trying to pass with sirens blaring, will they notice it? Why even advertise it in PA?

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

But seriously, I guess maybe out in PA, there has been road rage issues and maybe more protection for the hearing impaired. Now, I hope they don't get special handicap parking privileges because of being hearing imparied.

I was just thinking about this some more. I agree that ID'ing them in public as deaf isn't the best plan, so what to do? Give them a handicapped plate. The root question is, most (if not all) states will give you a ticket for driving with headphones on. Why?

BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WITH THEM ON!

How is this different from a deaf person? I'm not sure I'm comfortable with them driving...

BMW magazine once ran an article on a deaf chick. It was a quite sad story, but she loved her Z4 anyway, and was quite an accomplished musician from what I can remember.

Anyway, point is of her story, is that deaf people can feel sirens coming. She said she could feel the air thicken as a siren comes near. People with sensory impairments learn to rely on their other senses more. Thats what she did, and what I imagine this guy should do...
