My name is Chandra and I am 26. I have Nystagmus and I am considered to be legally blind by the state of Virginia. At the age of 16 I was told that I would never be able to drive. Its been almost a year since I discovered that I can drive legally. I am about to finish driving school and next week I will attempt to take the road test for my Road test. I am nervous, but determined. My instructor thinkjs that I am doing well with driving, but I am having trouble keeping the wheel straight9drifting into lanes) If there is anyone who has experienced this problem and can offer some advice PLEASE contact me.
