Of course, and drive a car too >>
the first lorry driver we employed when my company started only had sight in one eye. His general driving was OK but he had trouble judging the widthof the vehicle.
At that time we operated from a small yard with a narrow driveway for an entrance which had brick walls on both sides. Mother used to hang her washing out to dry down one wall and quite often this driver would leave the yard trailing a string of washing which he had managed to pick up on the tailboard. This was a severe blow to the budget.
You must understand that we were very poor at the time. Father was poor, Mother was poor. The butler was poor...

I don't have much trouble judging the width of a vehicle, but the fore and aft gives me fits. I don't make very good landings, but I think that has more to do with my brain than with my eye.

............and I'll bet the butler's housekeeper didn't have much money either!
