Yes, they are actually usually better drivers than hearing people because their handicap causes them to be more aware of their surroundings than a hearing person would. They also can have a system in their car that tells them when an emergency vehicle is approaching. Most deaf people don't listen to music / have the distractions. They don't talk to their friends on the phone. Most deaf people have good sight since they are losing one of the 5 senses. Some people have gotten into accidents with emergency vehicles simply because they couldn't hear but that is un common. I know a lady who did and she ended up losing her memory. So deaf people can drive and frankly are good drivers.

Yes, deaf individuals are allowed to drive in many countries as long as they can meet the necessary driving requirements and demonstrate their ability to drive safely. Some countries may have additional measures in place, such as requiring additional mirrors or specialized equipment in the vehicle.

Normally they wouldn't because they can't hear so they don't know when a car's coming but if you want one to drive go with them to prevent that from happening.
