wait a minute? where can i get the papers just like you showed us about driver is deaf? Well I will get my driver license on summer. btw, im still young.
thanks for the info. i have a deaf friend that just informed me recently 2 wks ago that the police pulled him over and got out the car and were fussing and kicking at his car door and then the policeman told him to get out but as the officer saw that he was a big man, he put his foot on his door and kicked it to close the door, he was trying to let him know that he was deaf, so it was hard on him.. so im going to find more info on how i can help him. Thanks.
My friend who is HOH was almost shot by a cop who had pulled him over. My friend got out of his car and was trying to tell the cop he was HOH so he couldn't understand what the cop was telling him to do. The cop must have felt threatened because he drew his gun and pointed it at my friend. Finally the cop understood and let my friend go. Very scary.
When I get pulled over for whatever reason, I turn off the engine, open the window and smile as the officer approach. Then I try to speak slow and clear, saying like this "Hi. I need to let you know something; I am deaf, and I can't read lips well. Can we write?" That usually works beautifully for me, and I can't really say I had any bad experiences with cop when I do this. Anyway I have one of these visors also, for these cops who find my voice impossible to understand. Awesome video.
There's the link next to the video on the right... click "more info" and you will see the website address above. If can't, let me know and I'll post it again here.
That's true. When you get a ticket for being pulled off, you would get the policeman's name and the badge number. If not, you can jot down the name and number with your pen. Whatever works for each driver. The whole point of this videotape is to give the driver the chance to remember remain calm and cooperative. That's all.
I agreed with you. I used to have a Deaf ID Card to show the RCMP after I ran through the three way stop at two am in a small town in Alberta. I didn't see RCMP. He turned light flashing on and I stopped car and wait for me to com. I showed the ID Driver plus Deaf ID. He read it and mouthed me quite clear. One thing he didn't see my hearing aids. By the time he letting me go. I decided to wait and listen. Sure enough he say F**** Deaf Driver. It was loud and clear.
I agree with you. A wonderful explanation! I was thinking of that earlier today. Will make a simple card "2 x "4 with a big bold DEAF - of course I will type up and laminate too -- read back -contact for Interpreter at MCDHH or blah blah. Visor is the best place to put! Don't use the glove compartment otherwise they may think you are getting a weapon. I feel sorry for Bahl but I hope he is well. Beaten by the cops is unacceptable. Some cops react differently I guess.
I'm so happy I knew over 20 signs you did, im taking ASL 1, but I still don't know all the story :'(

I don't need a placard to tell others I'm Deaf. You forget to ask for policeman's name and badge number.

Good point DSQ!
I will find a good place to put this visor card. Best if you use cardstock paper to print it out...more sturdy that way.
