: Hello Everybody.
: This message is to greet you all and to express you my happiness in seeing that there are people in the world that could solve their driving problems. I am not visually impaired but I'm interested in this issue because I am getting information for someone I care very much who has problems of low vision. In Italy (Rome) Bioptics are almost unknown for most of all, (even if there are some low vision specialists and retailers who sell them) and I suppose that drivng with this kind of aid is not allowed yet. And it will not be allowed since anybody start to talk about it. I mean that lots of people would be interested in this, if only they know that it's possible to drive with low vision. What to do to start a pilot project in Europe? Is there anyone of you that could give me some information on how to export this project out of the United States?
: Thank you very much, and good look everybody.
: Lela.
