Once my lyft driver was Deaf and I had lovely conversations with him in ASL at all the red lights (This was in DC so there were a ton) and it was great. He was an awesome driver. Got 5 stars from me! What a weird thing for people to assume...
I can never hear emegerency vehicles, But the sirens have the bright lights, just yesterday I saw the lights and I pulled over for the ambulence to go by. I have eyes, I can use my eyes. When I took my license test, they didn't mind me being deaf. Honestly, for many things in life, you don't really need hearing. :)
brickzzzzzzz lol I can't see the lights in the daytime but I usually see everyone else pulling over, so I just follow suit
I never hear emergency vehicles either, but I am almost always the very first person to pull over. Unfortunately, other people who rely on their ears, don't hear or see the emergency vehicle and fly past me blaring their horns and getting all angry because I pulled over. Then not even a minute later they realize there's an emergency vehicle and finally pull over. But by then, the emergency vehicle has had to slow down/or stop just to get past them. It's ridiculous.
My mother is an audiologist and I have interacted with deaf and hoh people my whole life. I love that your videos show that people who have hearing loss are not really any different than anyone else
I love you're vibes and sense of humor💖
Ahh! Love to you and your sister! Awesome that you brought her in for this vid! And I love how well done the vid is! You CRUSHED THE MYTH! 😃
I remember back when my hearing started to really go bad, one of the first things I looked into was if I'd still be able to drive because, in my naiveté, I DIDN'T KNOW! Thank you for not only busting the myth, but also making it entertaining! You're the best! ❤
FYI...even deaf people that only communicate in sign language and don't speak can drive too. Using your voice isn't a requirement on the drivers test.
NudgingCharlie13 agreed!
You both need your own show on netflix! I would Totally watch it!!!!!
Loved your vlog with sister. It was so hilarious and I laughed so hard. U both look like twins lol
Lol. #deafnotblind
I love seeing the looks on people's faces when I tell them I used to ride motorcycles. o_O
That last bit was the best 😁
your sister and you crack me up!.
my daughter and I are much like that. stay fun!
My mom has known sign language for many years, (she is hearing) even taught it to me. I am not so fluent in it now, but know a lot of the basics. When I was younger my mom and I actually had friends in two different places that were deaf. My mom was always able to communicate so easily with them. I remember they both could drive just fine without any issues. I think it is great you spreading awareness to these topics. I found you through Drew Lynch. I think there are so many things people do not understand and you shed light on them. :) I am so happy I found your channel.
Eyyy, We both found this channel the same way. I'm so glad it's getting easier to find channels with disability culture and perspective!
How do you not have more subscribers?!😩 love your content!!!❤️❤️❤️
Kirstin Lemm working on it lol 😆
-18 Lolita 💔 I think we should stop we are freaking peoples off... You are awesome girls.
How have I not known about this channel all this time? Also? You two are definitely #sistergoals. 😍
You are great Jessica . My 19 year old son got cochlear implant when he was 7 because his hearing worsened and hearing aids no longer worked . I’ll show him your channel
Thank you. This has been on my mind recently. Thanks for educating me in the subject.
For some reason I expected to see your License photo. Love your videos!
This was hilarious. You guys are great.
my gosh you two beauties look so much alike! great video Jess loved it ... was literally laughing out loud 😂
Btw, saw you on Dog Vlog. Just subscribed.
This was so awesome! totally enjoyed this and im actually gonna used this for ELM 102 vlog.
You two are hilarious!! Thanks for busting this myth :)
Lol you are so hilarious... I'm a KODA and my mom told me to watch this video..... I am so glad she showed me this... I subbed!
Thank youuuu
I just found your channel, but I love you already!
Y’all made me laugh so hard! Not many ppl will get in the car with me.... and it ain’t bc I’m deaf. Lol
This is the best "how can deaf people drive?!" video yet. A++++++
Like another commenter mentioned, when there is an emergency vehicle behind you, you're gonna notice the cars in front of you moving to the side and deaf people aren't going to think, "Ooh, they're making room for me to pass. Sweet!" And whenever an accident happens, the excuse is usually "I didn't see ______" And not "I didn't hear ______"
I'm a deaf person who cannot drive just because I never pursued my full license but because of the common misconception, I have to explain that the reason I don't have my driver's license is not because I can't hear.
I'm a cyclist though so I do have to share the road with hearies who cannot hear my bicycle.
Loved you with Drew, what a don't pair you two make! Thanks for the great myth bust!
Omg I love you soooooo much! You are soooo funny and amazing!!
Instantly subscribed after watching this video. You both are wicked funny!!! 🙂 🙃
love you, love you, love you! You are such a crack up!!! Latinos are, and you represent us so well! I'll look you up on Instagram.
I don’t usually comment but I love your videos. Watching you with your sister was a lot of fun (to be honest, at first I thought you duplicated yourself into a character as you look so similar). One thing, these days cars are so sound proof that sirens can be hard to hear even for the hearing. Definitely a visual task! Thanks for all your videos, they make me think.
Vicki Kolman thank you!! :)
Geniales tus videos!! Saludos desde Argentina! Compartiendo hipoacusia!! Ya me suscribí! Te sigo!
Lol omg I have a lil crush on this girl 😊 she’s so funny!!!
Deserves more likes and subs!
Oh my god! Seeing you girls totally brought back memories of playing at Auntie Gloria’s and Uncle Sonny’s in the City!! Hope you girls are doing well!! You both are so gorgeous!
- Cousin Melissa 🖤
HEYYYY!!! JUST FOUND YOU!!! :) Hope all is well with you in LA
Seen you on Drew Lynch's Dog Vlog and loved you guys together so much that i decided to come and sub to your channel. Enjoyed the video its the first one I have watched and am looking forward to more!!!
I just saw the rikki crossover, and I have to say that I am a fan of you now. And I think I have become a better driver now that I am hoh. I get less distracted. Studies have shown that deaf people are better drivers. I want my deaf/hoh discount on my insurance.
And I have to add that people can be blasting music and not hear things around them like deaf people. My radio volume has increased 20 dbls over the last year and change. My comfort level on the radio is like 10 dbls from max.
Also how do we know when to move over for emergency vehicles? How about when we see everyone else moves over we get the clue!!!!! That is a big tell. I notice that before everything else.
Love the way you decorate you hearing aids. I want to decorate mine but I don’t know what color should I due them.
i love your videos, and your tattoos. ♡♡♡♡
Love your videos !
Hi Jessica I just saw you on Dog Vlog yo were so funny I just subbed your channel 😘
Love the video! You and your sister are too funny! I am hearing and I think it's hilarious that you have to address this subject. My answer would be that same if you asked..Can hearing people drive? Yes if they can pass the drivers test, or they don't lose their car keys...or get their car impounded. There are hearing people that can't driving. Driving isn't related to hearing.. it's related to brain function and motor skills. Good video!
Love the video
I'm deaf and she so much fun and true about the driver part
This video was hilarious.
Dude you two remind me of me and my own sister XD
My favorite question has always been how can you even have a favorite song you’re Deaf?
I like your energy
Love the video and the first to like.
I'm hearing and half the time I don't even hear the sirens, I see them before I hear them. Deaf people are better drivers than a fair amount of the hearing people I know honestly.
I like how law and order SVU actually shows this in a episode, maybe more people will learn that deaf people can drive by it and this cute video. Unfortunately this guy was the victim of a bump and rob and got shot for his car and thrown in the river but they were able to identify him by his implant. Still shows that deaf people can drive.
Oh man! I never seen that episode before! I'm gonna try to look for it!
Hey! I really enjoy your videos! I’m learning more sign language right now but, do you have any tips?
Elyse's Life yes, This is assuming you are taking up ASL, learn the ABC's first then go look up bill vicars on RUclips and start with lesson one. Try to do one video a week then practice using those words you learned by signing them as you say them or signing it while someone else says them. This keeps you using the language so you memorize it better. Happy signing 😊
Plus, I can hear and you can drive better than I can! (That may just be because I'm 17 and got my permit late so I'm inexpierenced!)
I never thought about it until I got to college until I saw a group of deaf students get in their cars and drive away. I imagined they would have problems telling if something on their car is breaking, and I have since verified that to be true now that my hearing has got worse.
Deaf people CAN drive. I am deaf and drive my car, no way do I allow anyone to take away my independence. HOWEVER, ambulances are a big concern for me as while I can HEAR them, unless I SEE them, I don't know what DIRECTION the sound is coming from. One day it wasn't until that ambulance was on my tail that I could see that I needed to move fast - STRESSFUL!!! So hearing ambulances IS problematic and I understand hearing people's concern about that!
You don't have to take a hearing test, but they DO require a vision test. So, you don't have to hear, but you do obviously have to see.
Honestly, in a newer vehicle, there is so little road noise coming through. I watch for lights too.
I watch for lights a lot too! I also noticed that I pay attention to reflections in other cars if that makes sense. Like if I am crossing a road, I'll check the side of cars further down the road to see if there is any reflection of an oncoming car coming my way.
You sign language bueatiful samile talking right 👍 thanks
In case you wonder why people say that, deaf people can DEFINITELY drive, it's just harder sometimes. When you drive near train tracks, you may not hear the bells and some who are completely deaf may not hear the roar of the train, but the deaf will know the train is coming because of flashing lights and the red and white cross things going lower. So you can definitely drive, it's just harder.
I just your everything about you great videos I don't no if you ever seen body worn hearing aids it has wires and a little receiver price with a ear mold that snaps on and it has a little box you can put in your pocket my profound hearing aids in a quite room people can HEAR there voice in my hearing aids thanks great videos I love it!
I used to know somebody that was deaf and they drove as a matter of fact basically she took some people for a ride and basically some were impressed but one didn't like it because he got lost basically she took him out to get lost but her favorite one that she took out was a blind lady who basically is also death and basically they went out for at least five or six times I think but I can tell you she sure loved it but there was only one problem though although she couldn't hear but she could tell by the vibration if she's trying to start the car
My grandpa is hard of hearing (He's completely deaf in his right ear), and can drive just fine, too. Wonder where that myth came from?
I got told that it was illegal for me to drive because I was deaf and what made it worse was that my schools online Drivers ED class was telling people this.
WHAT!? Where are you from?
Jessica Flores I'm from Florida
Wow! Do you drive now?
Jessica Flores I can't drive, I just got out of my wheelchair and my legs are still a little off. I'd like to keep in touch with you, what's your email or Twitter?
First of.. i think you're awesome. Second; is sign language international? Or are there different languages to? And what about dialect?
Is all the art in the background yours at home or do you teach at a school?
it's at home!
Is it real that people listen for cars coming around them instead of looking? That doesn't sound real at all...lol.
Serious question, from a dhh chick who's terrified of this driving scenario...what do you do at railroad tracks, across 55mph highways where you can't slow down to stop and look, but they don't have the little rails to go down? How do you know there's no train? Lol it's a silly fear I have. But it's there.
I love your videos as always! 😊
Hannah Leigh lol personally I'd keep an eye out for lights and if I'm really not sure if a train is coming I'd slow down anyways for my safety if I think one might be coming. But train lights always give you the heads up before hand when the train is coming so it gives you enough time to stop. At least that's my experience with them.
I never had doubts someone who's deaf couldn't drive but my main question is what if someone is honking at you or something like that.... that you may need to hear for whatever reason? I guess it's not often and a very situational thing but still curious about it. I think someone should make a device that reacts when it hears a horn. Like maybe if someone honks it flashes a light in the car or maybe gently vibrates the seat or something.
When I was 25 and hoh my ex would get frustrated thinking I needed my hearing aids in to drive because I couldn’t hear the engines or the sound of the gears shifting. I was always like wtf but I can feel them ur just a pain the a. Lol
LOL!!!
Also I'm learning ASL and it's hard because my friends always ask me why would u want to learn that if you can talk and I say to better communicate with people who can relate to my problems but it's very hard to find a friend who is as dedicated to learning ASL as I am do u have any advise on how to communicate with my friends so that they understand that I am still the same person just that it's a little bit different because they don't understand that it's important to me to be involved in the H.O.H. community and to learn ASL
Again you can show them these videos if you want to. Part of the reason I made these videos was to educate people I know and others about what it is like to be in my shoes. I think that is the biggest reason why people don't understand is because they haven't experienced it themselves. It helps to share your own experiences with them like you might speak and they can hear you perfect but do you hear them perfect? When it comes to ASL I feel like my reason I learn it is because I want that equal access to communication. I want to be able to understand something 100% Not sure if it is the same for you but I think the more you talk about your experiences with them, then maybe they will start to learn more about what it is like being you.
i love how no one dares to unlike this video 😂also who the fuk says death people cant drive i think they think there smart but have them say it outloud then think about what they said then theyll realize there dumb😂
Hey Jessica how did you get your hearing aids? Insurance doesn’t cover a hearing aid for me and and they are expensive out of pocket. I was thinking about calling the vocational rehabilitation center near me and seeing if they can help
So I lucked out and worked for a place for 3-4 years where they put money aside for me for any medical expenses and by the time I left that job I had enough money to cover my hearing aids. Not sure if I'll have enough money next time I need new one though. I heard about a department of rehabilitation center here that helps with getting hearing aids. So I think you are on the right track with asking them if they can help.
Jessica Flores thanks Jessica! I actually found something called a BAHA, bone anchored hearing aid, and that’s covered by insurance if I have a referral to go to the audiologist. :) thanks!!
My dad Is hoh and I'm paraplegic and I'm used to us both being able to drive. 🤷♂️ lol No accidents yet. At least not for me. This was hilarious. 👍🏽
Jeeps are cool
Hey Jessica I have left comments on your hearing aid videos cuz I recently got hearing aids and I'm adjusting pretty quickly the only thing is that it's kinda hard to adjust in my school life one of my teachers refuses to add captions or give me a manuscript so it's extremely hard for me to hear what they are saying or if we are watching a video it is hard to understand I have to put two and two together and deal with what I get when I asked my teacher said oh um the packet I give u kinda sums up the idea of the video but I don't think it's quite fair that the rest of the kids in my class might be getting some details that I'm not so I was wondering if you had any advise on how to educate my teachers and peers that just because I have hearing aids does not mean I can hear 100% clearly and that yes I want to be treated normally but there are some needs that I need
Hi Ana!
Hope you are well! GURRR not putting captions on education videos annoys me. Do you mind me asking where you are located maybe they are required by law to do that for you. I'll look into it. In the mean while, you could have them watch my recent video about hearing aids or captions if they are open to watching it. Maybe the principle would be open to watching it? If not you could take parts of what I said and mention it to them about what it is like and describe that to them if you are comfortable doing that.
What about blindspots though?
And, Deaf still can't drive. ;)
I am hard of hearing from birth. I have been driving for years, including long distance by myself many times (1000 kms/621 miles between major cities). I have also taught my friend to drive. Not sure where this myth originated because it seems pretty illogical.
I’m a deaf lady trucker

Lambert Brother thanks for the heads up!
I love you 💕❤️😘

Jessica how does a deaf person take the driving portion of the test
Good question! I told the person testing me to point where they wanted me to turn or else I wouldn't know what to do. So that is what they did. Worked for me! Also, I know that for the written test they have ASL signed versions of the written test for those who want to take the written test in ASL can. I'm sure they get interpreters for the test if you need it too.
i dont now if deaf people should drive they cant hear there surroundings i think its almost as bad as a blind person driving i now this will make people mad but i dont agree with this
Can deaf drive a manual car since they need to hear the engine sound to know whether they pressed the accelerator too hard or not especially when they start to move off
Good question, for manual cars a lot of them you can feel the gears changing in the car. Also the rev on the dash board can tell you a lot.
@googlehelpyou wow just wow... Really? Sorry, it is a stupid question eveeeeeer!!!
I usually end up seeing the cars pulling over and then I'll look in my mirrors and see the sirens incoming. Then I pull over. It's the same idea as if a person is playing the radio in the car super loud and the sirens are coming how they gonna know? Same concept. My best friend doesn't drive because she's got serious anxiety issues which is understandable, so she catches the bus. My sister in law is NOT deaf and she has anxiety also and does NOT catch the bus. She is lame. She needs to learn to be independent.
Sign ???no deaf
What about horn?
Matthew Floyd oh please! Hearing people ignore the horn! 😂😂😂
Good question! Forgot to include that in the video. When it comes to honking, in America, usually people get honked at because you're not paying attention to something. But if you are always scanning the mirrors you would eventually at some point glance in the rear mirror to see the reaction of the driver behind you. Their reaction will tell if they are honking since they usually do this "common move" gesture or if something's wrong they will wave to get your attention. At night time though, people tend to use their high beems more than actually honk to tell you something is going on. But bottom line, if a person just pays attention to road and what's going on the front and back of them, they'll be able to figure out if someone honks. Hope that answers your question!
