Here is some good news for disabled people from Kerala. The Motor Vehicles department is going to implement their fresh guidelines for disabled people from 1 April, 2018 in issuing a driving license. According to the norms that have been approved by Kerala State Transport Commissioner K Padmakumar, any disabled person who is fit to drive can be given a driver’s license.

People with monocular vision, partial hearing problems, and disability in legs or hands can apply for a driver’s license. A disability certificate must be produced to the Motor Vehicles Department while applying for a license. People who have a disability in their hands or legs must bring their crutches while taking the driving test.

The circular says that if a deaf person is applying for the test, they must make sure that a sign saying the same is there on the vehicle. They will have to take the same test that is taken by people without disabilities
