There seems to be plenty of "deaf" drivers here who appear to be completely oblivious to an ambulance siren blaring out directly behind them!

Under Thai law, deaf drivers are allowed to drive with the license.

In contrary to that, deaf drivers are more viligant than hearing drivers.

Looking at the header photograph Pattaya need to get some Isaan artisans in to improve on their rainmaker phallic symbol technique.

Probably by taking a test like anybody else. 
why should deaf people not be able to drive?

Automatic response:

does it need a license to drive in Thailand?

 

Serious answer:

I don't know whether there are exceptions for certain disabilities.

The physical test do not include any audio stuff.

The theoretical test is a multiple choice on a computer.

But the "tutoring" and watching videos would require hearing.

At least he wouldn't be distracted by being on the phone like most other drivers.

I feel sorry for the deaf driver, already disabled and now maybe further damage that will follow him for the rest of his life. Probably no insurance will pay for this.   But that is the dangers on the roads here, you have to be willing to take risks.
