for the colorblind

[giddyup]

Why people such as road workers, cyclists, policemen, garbage collectors are using bright yellow or red colors. If for a color blind person the contrast is less does this not pose a problem/danger? All these people are ON the road, maybe ask them how they feel about colorblind people driving around.

Tell me this. Australia and the UK just to name two don't have a colour blindness test for a drivers licence. Have you heard of numbers of road workers, cyclists, etc being killed or injured by colour blind motorists. Of course you haven't because it doesn't happen. Most ridiculous statement on this post so far.

[cumgranosalum]

Agree with you completely Giddyup. People commenting here who are not color blind have no idea what they are talking about. Like you, I am color blind. There is a big difference between traffic lights and a board full of colored dots like the board used for license exams in Pattaya. I've driven in Thailand for 30 years, most of these years on motorcycles, with no problems with traffic lights or signs. The main problem of course is the complete lack of driver education and courtesy here.

You're wasting your time trying to convince some people. You know and I know that being colour blind has not caused you any problems in your driving life. If it was the serious disability that some here suggest, it would be a mandatory part of every countries driving test, whereas it's not. Some even stupidly suggest that whilst you may have driven for decades without being involved in an accident, all around you is chaos as you blindly drive through red lights and stop signs leaving a wake of destruction behind you.

"You know and I know that being colour blind has not caused you any problems in your driving life."

Oh dear!

...and you don't see the irony of this?

you don't need to get rude, is this forum only for bright people as yourself? Do you deny that people wearing special color vests are less visible for color blind people? It seems a logic question and not intended to offend. My last ridiculous question; is there any correlation between color blind people and their temper?

[luk AJ]

There are a number of studies which show that color vision deficiencies are a serious risk factor in driving. Particularly protan color blindness reduces substantially the ability to see red lights, regardless of the severity of the defect. Tests showed that protans were very much over-represented in an accident causing group of drivers mostly involving either signal lights or break lights. Some scientists estimate that being a protan has associated with it a level of risk of road accident that is equivalent to having a blood alcohol level of between 0.05 and 0.08 per cent. Because of that for example in Australia you can’t get hold of a commercial drivers licence since 1994 if you are suffering from protanopia or p

well it would seem that you too have no idea what you are talking about.

The problems of color blindness are not limited to traffic lights; if you think that, then I really think you need to get up to speed on the accepted theories about driving, perception and road safety - The test is to assess the degree/type of your color blindness and reflects the WAY WE SEE whilst driving, which as I explained before is subliminal. This isn't a quirky Thai thing, these are scientific observations that are accepted worldwide.

There is a common perception amongst ALL drivers that they are better than average and it is others who are to blame for poor driving conditions.unfortunately this is seldom the case and whilst errors in driving that are noticed by others, the driver him/herself is frequently completely unaware of the problems they have caused.

It's hard for anyone in modern society to admit firstly to themselves and even harder, to others that they perhaps shouldn't be amongst the vast majority of people who do have the convenience of driving themselves. it's like alcoholism - you can't get the cure until you admit you have a problem.

It is however a matter for concern that there are several people on this thread alone that admit to driving whilst breaking thew law in this country....yet at the same time are quite happy to berate those who are driving perfectly legally.

Call me myopic if you like but all i'm seeing now one this thread is the reasoned arguments as to why there are problems and dangers for color blind drivers and then a load of color blind people saying that they should drive without anything to back up their assertions.

Can't say that I follow all the rules on my bike I refuse to stay in the left lane its dangerous. Other countries this is not needed. So in my own way I break the rules too just like the colorblind people. I don't see mayor problems here. If one of them were to admit to drinking and driving.. that would be an other discussion.. Also people with poor vision should not drive (or get glasses).

This reminds me of the story about Winton Churchill allegedly when accused by Bessie Braddock of being "disgustingly drunk" -

"

'My dear you are ugly, but tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be ugly'

This is the problem with color blindness - it is for the most part a PERMENANT" disorder.

I honestly don't know how I've managed to drive for 55 years without killing a couple of school crossing guards, linesman, policeman, or anyone else wearing a brightly coloured vest. Just lucky I guess. Also don't know how I've never been convicted of any driving offence, be it running a red light or anything else. Again, just lucky.

Maybe because they weren't red or green? - or as you say just lucky.....pretty much the same as my Aunt, i'd say.

[cumgranosalum]

here's another viewpoint on the topic.

"Red for 'danger'or 'stop' and green for 'safety' or 'go' are accepted world-wide and there is no alternative but to exclude colour-deficient people, who are at risk of making a mistake, from key occupations where incorrect interpretation might endanger themselves or others.

@giddyup..

Your in denial at some post.. no comment on the other user who is colorblind who posts from experience and no comment on the traffic lights (the pictures). You keep repeating your mantra instead of going into a discussion.

I certainly believe now that there are situations where a color blind person is a danger. If traffic lights are not the regular kind.. what will you do when your first at a light ? Just go through.. or stop ?

Seems you don't like going into posts that prove that there are situations where the colorblind are a danger.

Believe what you want. You refuse to accept that if colour blindness was such a problem, or even a minor one for that matter, the colour test would be mandatory in all countries. My country (Australia) has some of the most stringent traffic laws in the world and yet they don't insist on a colour test, only an eyesight test. Why? How do you think I got through 55 years of driving without running a red light or being in an accident? That point seems to get overlooked. I have better things to do than continue with what has become a pointless discussion.

No your ignoring it .. in OZ and other countries the lights are all the same (standardized).. here they are not so its dangerous. (at those situations).

So it might well be safe in OZ with its standard lights.. but not here.. we all know that light can vary.. now that I look around i see more of those crazy lights where you cant recognize it. These are a danger for the colorblind.

The topic was for the colorblind.. not all TV members..

The reaction speed test.. that is a separate issue and I think most can pass it.

your argument driving for 6 years without accident is even weaker. As I understand it you are violating the law on a daily basis which is certainly not something you should be proud about and certainly not brag about . In Singapore you would not get away with this so easy.

As usual you fail to acknowledge facts... (DELETED)

You seem to think I am against colorblind people driving. I am not, just saying that in Thailand it could get dangerous with the lights being non standardized. You might not have encountered them so that does not tell me much. Most the lights are not a problem and most of the time your not the first in line having to make a decision.

So it is quite possible that you have never encountered the problem hence your 6 years of safe driving. I don't think that its a big risk, but you act (DELETED) and that there is no risk.. There is a risk here how large it is.. no idea (not huge for sure) but its there.

agree, but it isn't the pint I'm making - the point being that color blindness is a permenant disorder - you can't change it and make driving with this condition safer.

It of course explains the obduracy of some people who have this disorder as they have to admit to a life-changing perspective on themselves. This is especially difficult with driving as it is one of those subjects where everyone thinks they are an expert and hardly anyone does any reading preferring to rely on they own personal and observations, which are way too small to be able to draw any meaningful conclusions from.

As normal I see people here would rather argue the fine points and completely over look my previous post that there is now help for those that are unfortunate to be "color blind". In developing special glasses for laser surgery they accidentally stumbled on a coating that corrects color blindness. Check it out at http://enchroma.com/.

Wish I had stock in the company...but I don't.

firstly I would be VERY VERY wary of this sort of thing....it has all the hallmarks of quackery. Color blindness is caused by when the color receptors (cones) in the retina and one either doesn't have them or they don't work properly - so I fail to see how a lens or filter can help receptors that don't function in the first place.

However IF it worked look at this "glowing" endorsement.

"Then I put on the glasses. Unbelievable! … It was like a peek into a world I knew existed, but had never been allowed to see."

If that is true it only makes it more obvious how serious color blindness can be for those without the glasses!

[cumgranosalum]

One of the first comments by a wearer was allegedly "Oh, I can see the cones!" - referring to some of those orange traffic cones on grass.......if that is representative of color blind drivers, then Lord help us!

Another claim made by the company is that color blind drivers wearing the glasses “hesitate 30% less” when reacting to road signs, lights etc = again this acknowledges that there is a MEASURABLE problem with road users who are color blind (i did actually mention this point earlier)
