Yes but you have to tell your instructor and the DVLA, as you may need extra mirrors in your car. They will take that into consideration on your test etc but they will expect you to be able to drive as well as as someone with 2 eyes

How are your driving skills? I'm blind in my left eye too, and I find that I'd rather take my time at an intersection, than take chances.
I dont think there should be a problem getting you driver's licence, but then again, i didnt get mine in this country.

I dont think so. I would be a little afraid to drive with you on the road too. You need both eyes to be somewhat of an effective driver and you with only one good eye would be risky. I.m sorry

An interesting one, as with one eye you would have no depth perception.
Just found out on the RNIB website that you need to have a visual range of 120 degrees.

If you are in Britain try contacting the DVLA or the RNIB for advice. I'm sure that they will be able to help.
Good luck!

probably.
The sight-test only makes sure you can read a number plate from (x) metres away (10 I think).
You couldn't be much worse behind the wheel than the countless to$$ers I encounter on the roads!
Ring the DVLA..........

No, you can't. Being able to see with only one eye distorts perception of distance, making it hard to drive, also to park.
