				Observe during the interview and while you are checking the application and
				giving the eye test. Note whether the applicant has any apparent physical
				disability. In the majority of cases, you do not have to let the applicant know
				that you are watching the way he/she walks and the way he/she uses his/her arms
				and hands. If anyone has a noticeable limp, an arm or leg missing, walks with
				crutches, is particularly small and apt to having trouble in reaching the
				pedals, has on a brace, or states on the application that he/she suffers from
				dizzy spells or fainting spells, question him/her closely but tactfully. A
				person may have some disability which would prevent him from participating in
				athletic events and still be perfectly qualified to operate a motor vehicle
				safely. Give the applicant the DR-11 form and explain it to him/her.
3. Deafness is not a cause for failure to an
				applicant. Let applicant take the written test and mark application
				"Restriction 3" (outside mirrors).

				drive, he/she may request that he/she retake all of the tests, the examiner
				will mail the license to the Director of Driver Improvement Branch, along with
				complete and detailed documentation as to the action taken and why it was
				believed necessary. The Director of the Driver Improvement Branch will
				temporarily suspend the driving privilege of said driver until he/she has
				successfully completed and passed the retesting requirements. The Driver
				Improvement Hearing Board Officer will follow the procedure outlined in Section
				II, A.
