👂 September is Deaf Awareness Month!

At DriveAbility Scotland, we’re passionate about making driving accessible to everyone including Deaf and hard of hearing drivers.

🔎 Did you know?

Many Deaf drivers rely on strong visual awareness, often making them some of the most attentive drivers on the road.

🚗 Adaptations such as visual alerts and specialist mirrors can make driving even more comfortable and safe.

Hearing loss should never be a barrier to independence, mobility, or freedom behind the wheel.

This month, we’re proud to stand alongside the Deaf community and raise awareness of the importance of inclusion on our roads. Whether it’s through specialist driving assessments, expert advice, or vehicle adaptations, we’re here to ensure that driving stays open to all.

If you or someone you know is Deaf or hard of hearing and would like to explore driving options, reach out to our team, we’re here to help.

💙 Independence matters - and we’re here to help you keep it.
