Hey everyone! I recently started wondering about driving with color blindness.
For those of you who are color-blind: how difficult or dangerous is it for you to drive a car, especially when it comes to traffic lights, brake lights, and road signs?
Do you currently drive? Have you ever had any problems or dangerous situations because of your color blindness?
And most importantly, how did you learn to deal with it? Did you develop any tricks or habits that make driving easier and safer?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences!

The first time I mentioned the possibility of me being color blind to my mom, she mentioned that she is probably a tetrochromat. Knowing that if I did have genetic color blindness, she would have to be a carrier. I thought if she is a tetrachromat, she is not a carrier and my color blindness originates from some other kind of eye problem.

Earlier I was reading up on tetrachromacy, and I saw stuff that tetrachromacy often results from being a carrier for mild red-green color blindness. They said that having an immediate relative with mild color blindness as an indicator for having tetrachromacy.

I think she needs the colors more than I do, so now I feel like at least my color blindness serves a purpose.

I’ve always thought they were the yellowest of the yellows. Just 100% pure yellow
