RTO rules for hearing impaired people in India?

Nope, till date i din't face any such kind of mishap due to hearing impairment. Only one day, i had a awkward experience with a traffic police who tried to explain me not to drive just bcoz of deafness. It turned me off since i expected him to motivate me to drive CAREFULLY with following all traffic rules with my limitation. I think only outcome will say, so y he should try to stop me from driving?! Anyway, apart from that, everything has been going fine.

Currently i'm driving our car - Maruti Zen which i've been driving for 1.5 years, so quite habituated with this small light vehicle. So it may lead to a bit trouble while driving Dzire as soon as i get this delivered, since its bigger in size. May be i find some initial problem in parking/reversing in consideration of its new measurement. Let me see

@ Pankaj

Please do apologize me for making hassle unintentionally. I really din't mean anything to be impolite towards its members. Only i was trying to make this thread to be hit with some views/lights from ppl who can share from his/her experience/thoughts, if any. I know Rishita had no fault. Unfortunately some bad words had been sprayed out beyond my awareness. Its totally my fault. Hope u'll forgive me.

@ Rishita

Please give a smile . First of all, i must say sorry for misbehaving with u without any notice, since i was desparate to get some answers against my queries. Anyway hope u'll understand. Sorry once again. Please lets shake our hands. Hope we'll start a new journey.

@ Pankaj (Again)

May i ask something about ur father-in-law, if u don't mind? How did he lose his hearing - got something wrong with his auditory nerve or got internal bones in ears damaged? Can he not hear with the help of hearing aid? What is the degree of his hearing loss, if anything u know?

Regards

It's okay Som.  Very nice of you to have put it so.  Thanks.

Regarding my father-in-law.... once he had been to Delhi years back (to receive President's Award - he is a scientist).  Next morning when he woke up in the hotel room he was shocked - had lost his hearing ability totally - overnight.  I'm not aware of the technical details (rather I don't remember).  He underwent treatments etc. but in vain.  He wears hearing aids & is able to communicates/understand reasonably well with some help from lipreading also.

OT:  Till my mother-in-law was alive, I used to tell him... "Lucky you are.  I wish I too was deaf". LoL.

Thanks Pankaj!

Now i'm totally free of tension, since i was scared of u like my dad. Also ur profile photo (wearing sunglass) looks like an angry man. Jokes apart, its very very mysterious case with ur father-in-law. Even i can't imagine how it happened to him. May be due to something like sudden disorder in Hormone/Nerves it happened.

Anyway, since he is scientist, it makes me to respect him with my whole heart. Which subject he is involved with? I wish i would be a scientist like him and receive a prize from president. But no luck! 

Now i feel that u must have some positive feelings on how to communicate with deaf ones. I mainly depend on Lip-Reading and can easily grasp every speaking words if the speaker speaks with open mouth and slowly moves his/her lips

How many days have you been here in NDTV-Auto. All these stuff really serve as a fabulous entertainment for time-pass and a good library for many kinds of knowledge. Also the Jokes Thread is a very good package added-on. What do u do besides managing NDTV-Auto?

One thing may i have question - is this good practice to fit the parking sensors into my new car Dzire or should i myself try to practice to avoid any crash, since depending on parking sensors may drive me to lose my own natural skill of parking?

Our forum is primarily CarWale. There is a tie-up with NDTV which led to NDTV auto.  Have a look in the link.

Parking sensors: It is a good thing especially in cars like SX4/Swift/DZire where the rear visibility is limited and also for beginners. It does make you a lil lazy and you tend to depend on it(A possibility).

One area where it is useful is while parking/reversing in new and tight areas. I added it in my car as my mom would be driving it and she is a new driver.

PS: Happy to see that you have come back in a good way. Kudos buddy.

Som, everyone here is nice & polite.  It's a family.  I'm a banker & love to be a part of the CW Forums (no other activity).

Yes, my father-in-law's case is unusual - I remember him saying that the doctors said it was a very rare case.  I communicate well with him - have to speak a little aloud with loud gestures.  At times, when it involves explaining him something in detail, its difficult - I pen down in that case.  He & his fellow-scientist (2-member team) got the Award for their research on Conversion of Marine/Salt water into Drinking water. 

Parking Sensor, in my opinion, is not required.  Good use of mirrorS is sufficient.  In some cars, as stated by Ami, the case (rear visibility) is different but it's still not required essentially, I mean/feel. Go for it only if you are uncomfortable parking the car.

@ Ami

Thanks for the info. I was in same conundrum as others had with the possible linking between CW and N-Auto. Now its clear.

You r right that some models have some limitations with rear visibility. But i think i better should avoid depending on that sensors and use my own natural parking skill. U know i mostly love and enjoy parking as a part of driving skills, though it involves a lot of effort

@ Pankaj

That research is indeed a very great research. Just amazing, i must think it does not involve only 'Filtering', but carry many processes to make this sucess. Hats off to him.

Hey can any1 tell why Rishita is so silent?! One thing let me say - i can imagine a picture of her face which is saying that she got badly hurt with my misbehaviour. Very touchy picture! is it so, Rishita?

Oh yes, can any1 tell - is there any free accessories come with Dzire (LXI)? i dont trust dealer since they always try to make us fool with their so called 'planning of business'.

Regards

Som

Rishita may not have noticed the development (offline).  She must have felt bad (anyone would in her place) - but as far as we know her, she is a very nice & jovial person.  Your gestures are really kind.  I'm sure we will hear from her

@ Som,

I had really felt bad and also was hurt, because no one had ever said so before, but I can understand it happens so in forums sometimes. It probably happened because you were anxious to get replies. Anyway, thanks for your kind gestures.

Welcome to the forum and enjoy the discussions in all the threads…

Cheer up. Nothing to feel bad anymore

This is a very informative thread for me as my 1Yrs. 4 Mths. daughter is also hearing impaired but I would love to see her driving when she attends the age. VEry long way to go though.

Thanks to all contributors to the thread hope to have many more.

@Som

Do you think using a Hearing Aid or with a Cochlear Implant done one would still face the problem? What do you use to address your limitation?

Hi

I hope this article will help u
