it depends on if they can pass a driving exam, it depends on that state's applicable laws, and also if by law that person... with corrected vision in the good eye can maintain the percentage for that state to not be considered legally blind. Good example... Nascar's Ernie Irvan (texaco *now #42*, August of 1994 at Michigan International Speedway), after his accident which left him with one useable eye, he went through recouperative physical therapy and eventually started racing again with just the use of that one eye... let's see here... a national sport where people drive 125mph+ with one eye, or on your block at home at about 25mph? it's all about what state and what law, but i guess you can somewhere.

Yes they can, and they do it well. I have a lazy eye and I drive 60,000 a year, no accident since 1982 and that was a small one.

Yes, it is a myth that we have no depth perception with only one eye. I knew a woman that had only one working eye and she drove just fine. She had to turn her head more because she had less peripheral vision.

They could ..but it would be very dangerous as 1 eyed people cannot judge distances correctly. You could actually verify it by closing 1 eye and trying to reach out to a distant object.
