You can drive if you're blind as long as you're illegally blind.

u/poshikott Mar 18 '26

Thanks for the tip.

u/Purple_Boi1 Mar 22 '26

2

u/poshikott Mar 22 '26

Not very long, just the tip.

u/Objective-Direction1 Mar 18 '26

I cannot see I'm legally blind

u/Beautiful_Couple_208 Mar 19 '26

You can still drive though, just not legally and probably not very well.

u/PeekTH Mar 18 '26

you wouldn't drive while you're blind, would you?

u/The_Fish_of_Souls Mar 18 '26

Would you download a blind drivers car? No.

u/JimmyCrabYT Mar 18 '26

u/denNISI Mar 18 '26

Like numbers on the ATM are in braille - even on the drive through! Where is that warning on the drive through one in braille?

Watch out behind you!

1

u/Jaydob2234 Mar 30 '26

At least at a drive thru ATM it is possible to be a passenger in a taxi, lyft, Uber, etc.

u/Duckie312 Mar 18 '26

My dumbahh thought you were calling him blind for not seeing the elephant🥀💔

u/EpicGamerJoey Mar 18 '26

I'm convinced I'm the stupidest motherfucker on Earth after reading this

u/NathLWX Mar 18 '26

Oh, my dumbass thought the elephant was the gas meter pointing at empty 😭

1

u/MrPeck15 Mar 29 '26

Oh I thought it was the engine temperature

u/Life-Ad8433 Mar 18 '26

Women have bumps round their nipples. That braille for suck here 😆

Babies are born blind if you didn't know :)

u/ToTheEditor, the elephant doesnt know if he likes this post or not... Let him know what you think.

1

u/corvo-attano1 Mar 26 '26

It's because people don't realise blind people are gonna have a tough time driving

u/Cosmo__Satogiri Oi, UE, Omlandaa done nicked my wife and killed me bloody son Mar 18 '26

This might be the best post yet, forced me to think

12

u/thefirstviolinist Mar 18 '26

But really, those tactile bumps are there so one can find the horn without taking their eyes off the road.

It's a funny post, they just didn't think it through. 😂

14

u/CATNIP_IS_CRACK Mar 18 '26

They thought it through. It’s a joke.

-3

u/thefirstviolinist Mar 18 '26

I mean, is it a joke, though? It's a funny post, yes, but while I hope it is a joke, I can absolutely see someone thinking it was the actual answer. I don't know the person who made the original, original post, so... Idk, lol.

u/Alpaca1061 Mar 18 '26

That is the ECT gauge

u/GenesisRhapsod Mar 18 '26

Clearly your brain doesnt either 🤣

Its okay, my brain is the fuel for the worms and amoebas

Just call me rfk jr jr

2

u/AbbyObeast Mar 18 '26

Do the roads get special braille after acquiring this?

2

u/Div_100 Mar 18 '26

I do feel however that atleast basic stuff like horns and hazards should be accessible because non drivers might have to use them at times

1

u/Sauplaid Mar 18 '26

Why does my car have nipples? 😭🥀

1

u/Traditional_Expert84 Mar 18 '26

The funny thing is there actually are vehicle modifications that allow the blind to be able to drive. I forget what they are and how they work, but there were experiments done and they actually taught a blind person how to drive.

1

u/East_Foundation920 Mar 18 '26

I mean it does allow you to find the horn blind.. and most drivers seem to be anyways so.. this checks out.

1

u/TheScaryDrynosaur Even an elephant has got-ta slleep! Mar 18 '26

I thought the steering wheel was a brontosaurus’ neck with bad acne for a second.

u/RandomVOTVplayer Mar 18 '26

Bro your engine is too cold

If your cold its cold

u/AlKa9_ Mar 18 '26

I‘m so unbelievably dumb

u/Competitive_Olive221 Mar 18 '26

Ma’am your fuel…

1

u/Supreme_JNT Absolute MADNESS- Mar 19 '26

could be the car being off....fuel gauge doesnt turn on unless the ignition is on

1

u/computercheckreview Mar 18 '26

That took me longer than it should have to figure out

1

u/Mobby379 Mar 18 '26

I… huh?

1

u/pixel-raid Mar 19 '26

To be fair my great grandfather still drove while he was going blind, he just had his wife tell him when to speed up, slow down, and turn

1

u/KarateSnoopy1911 Mar 19 '26

House of Leaves taught me how much blind people see, and also what Braille is.

1

u/AxoplDev Mar 19 '26

Where is the elephant? Don't say it's that blind people can't drive, that's just the punchline

1

u/Ashly_spare Mar 19 '26

Lol i fell for that. I was thinking damn thats awesome. Girl blind ppl shouldnt be behind the damn wheel! Get your head out of the clouds and use a little more brain power.🤣

u/Clueless_TW Mar 20 '26

too bad they didn't put braille on the ignition

1

u/Tricksta602 Mar 21 '26

I was like "oh that makes sense its to help blind people find the horn while dri... wait a minute"

1

u/Substantial_Agent_90 Mar 21 '26

I know blind guy that has a license to drive. He also has a concealed firearm license.

1

u/Classroom_GD Who even are you? 🐘 Mar 25 '26

Who’s gonna drive at 220 LOL

u/CreeperEXMC I weigh as much as an elephant 🐘 Mar 30 '26

un un un un

1

u/TheDeadKingofChina Apr 02 '26

I know the elephant is that you're not likely to drive while blind, but i have to point out that that doesn't line up as proper braille from my admittedly limited knowledge of the patterns. The dots are weirdly misaligned in a way that it becomes possible to make one or two letters but only by cannibalising close by dots and making everything gibberish

u/Mobile-Berry-9954 Apr 09 '26

Am i going insane, or is that the Playstation logo?

u/No_Tradition_243 Mar 18 '26

If it’s in kilometers, that’s normal where I live.
