Hi Dale! What specific legal issue are you dealing with?
Are people with intellectual disability legally allowed to drive in New York?
In New York, individuals with intellectual disabilities are not automatically disqualified from obtaining a driver's license. They must meet the same requirements as other applicants, including passing both written and road tests. However, the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may require additional medical information to determine their fitness to drive.
