I saw the video one time of Ray Charles driving a car... I think...
Driving a car is considered a privilege, not a right.
But if a blind person could pass the tests, they should get a driver’s license.
In Blues Brothers, Ray showed us he was a competent pistolero.
In my hometown, there was a feisty blind girl who insisted in pushing the envelope. One day at supper, my mom told us that she had seen this girl driving a car, at which point we all laughed at mom. Eventually, we learned that the girl's mother would occasionally talk her daughter successfully through a drive about town.
That girl is now a middle-aged lady with kids of her own, but she hasn't mellowed in her determination. If I were to hear that she had taken up combat pistol shooting, I might raise my eyebrows, but I wouldn't laugh.
He didn't do it alone, he had Stevie Wonder guiding him from the passenger seat.......

He also rode a motorcycle. He had his brother ride ahead of him. He would listen to his instruction and the motor sound and a buzzer wired with the brake light.
I remember the guy who was legally blind suing UPS because they would NOT hire him as a driver.
The judge threw it out of court.
