Thank you for your response. It is good to be able to excahange points of view, certainly did imply a criticsm of your prespective, but I was not hurt by your position. If anything, I am encouraged that you clarrified your position. It just so happens this is asubject taht IS important to me, and does have implications for the whole thing of driving with BiOptics and partialy vision.
You it is a funny thing, that there are so many people who cite safety as a concern when people with visual diabilities drive: and yet, we grydingly respect the right of other people to drink and drive, to have unprotected sex, to chance brininging conceiving children in the course of gaining sexual pleasure. There is a double standard for people with low vision, no matte how responsible or thoughtful they may be. Just look at Hayden's position.
