So I'm gonna be starting drivers ED soon, and it's really making me freak out because i have tritanopia (blue yellow color blindness). I don't even know if they let people drive if they have that. It hasn't bothered me much in life and hasn't been a problem for me really, but now that i might drive soon, it's just going to be a little different.
Any answers, help, suggestions, would be awesome.

If you have any form of color blindness, they will still allow you to get a license. You just have to go through more tests.

You can still get a liscense. You will have to go through more test than a regular person would. Talk to your drivers ED teacher about it...
Just don't drive like this when you get your permit :D
:drive:

If people who are red/green colorblind can get a liscence, I think you can.

I have red-green colourblindness and can drive just as easily, along with being near-sighted and have ghosting or double-vision (not a lot though). Despite my shitty eyesight, I have to wear glasses when driving although the colourblindness stays. As long as you can identify which traffic light is on, the signs, other cars and pedestrians, your vision is fine.
