<DIV><FONT size=4>Trish<BR><BR>Sorry I have not printed the information I
received from Marion Gwizdala sooner - I have had computer problems and been
sick.<BR><BR>This is what he has advised we do.<BR><BR>1. You have to make
sure the picture or diagram is explicit in the motor vehicle booklet. Must
clearly show a pedestrian traveling across the street with a white cane and
another walking with a guide dog. Best if a photograph clearly showing
what we are trying to bring to the driver's attention.<BR><BR>2. A picture
depicting crossing at a traffic light -- pedestrian having the right of
way.<BR><BR>3. Graphics must be very detailed Have input into the
graphics. Artwork must involve great accuracy.<BR><BR>4. Should have a
paragraph before the pictures regarding the White Cane. This is what I
received from Joe and believe this is what Marion was talking about to be
included in the driver's booklet.<BR><BR></FONT>
<P align=center><FONT size=4>The White Cane<BR></FONT>
<P align=left><BR><FONT size=4>The National Federation of the Blind of New
Jersey is working to heighten public awareness of the white cane. The
white cane is an efficient tool for mobility and a symbol of
independence.<BR><BR>Each year on October 15, we mark the observance of
congressional resolution HR 753, the "White Cane Law." This decree, also known
as the "Civil Rights Bill for the Blind" diligently addresses issues affecting
the quality of life of disabled citizens in America. This bill grants
rights to the blind regarding access and enjoyment of public buildings,
transportation, housing facilities, use of guide dogs, and provides for "White
Cane Safety Day."<BR><BR>White Cane Safety Day was first established in 1964 by
congressional resolution at the request of the NFB. Our desire was to
encourage official public recognition of the white cane as a symbol of the right
of blind people to be fully independent and to be an equal part of the
community.<BR><BR>The world of the blind and visually impaired was expanded and
enhanced significantly as white canes and guide dogs were put into use as tools
to aid in promoting safety and self-reliance for people with visual
impairments.<BR>========================================<BR>Regarding the Driver
Education Testing.<BR><BR>1. Questions regarding blind/visually impaired
people MUST be within the first 12 questions. Otherwise, when scoring is
performed -- when computers are involved -- the test will be over and the person
taking the test will never have any reference to how knowledgeable he/she is
regarding the blind using a white cane or guide dog when
crossing.<BR><BR>2. Questions must bring awareness and understanding what
either one represents and how pedestrians that are blind or visually impaired
means of crossing must be respected and provide safe mobility.<BR><BR><BR>Hope
this is not toooooooo late<BR>Kathy Rawa and Dorito</FONT></P>
