Blind drivers?
Discussion
Just been doing an online quote and cames across this on the form
"If you require your policy documentation in Braille, please call us on....."
For a start how would I read it if I were blind and secondly what would a blind person be doing applying for motor insurance!
I guess its more of a company policy, but it made me chuckle.

I think the raised dot on a calculator is used as a locator for your finger when not wishing to observe the display.
E.G. when adding up a long list of figures it saves you from having to look over and check the display all the time thus allowing your hand to work remotely
I imgaine that PA's and secretary's use a similar system when speed typing from dictation or notes.

It's not funny, there are drivers out there suffering from such a blight, so please have a christian attitude and don't laugh at the inflicted.
Just a piece of advice for you, this specialist group of drivers can be easily identified on the open road by a small mark o the back of the vehicle saying..... Volvo.

Um, because its in Braille?
Just looked at my calculator and realised mine is the same, how daft is that?!
I meant how would a blind person read the sentence from the screen so that they knew to order their car insurance in braile!
'The f and j on my keyboard has that as well.'
so does mine, but there's no need to swear!!
On the Raised dot thing, I was told that telephones have a bump on the '5' key to help unsighted people find the numbers on a keypad, and also in the event of a powercut, or excessive smoke in the event of a fire, you would know where the numbers were to dial 999.

)
