aAlthough, you could probably drive better than a lot of sighted people in 
the sense that you would be more cautious.

>> Okay guys, here's what I know about buying a car.
>> 1. A blind person can legally bar a car, same as any other transaction.
>> All you need is money.
>> 2. You do need insurance and you need a driver to put his/her name on
>> the form, but it is not the driver that needs to be ensured, it is the
>> car. Talk to insurance companies and find one that will do this. Geiko
>> will, my aunt's insurance company is another that will, and I'm sure
>> there are others. You want the car insured for whoever drives, not an
>> individual. But the blind person or whoever ponies up the money is the
>> legal owner.
>> Btw, it is illegal to deny you buying a car, so if someone tries, sue
>> the pants off them
>> Jo Elizabeth, I'd suggest in your case, buying the car, putting your
>> boyfriend as the insured form and then making sure the car has insurance
>> for everybody who drives it.

>> It's just like owning any other property, I would guess, except that I
>> wouldn't actually get behind the wheel.

>> Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.
