What is the life expectancy for someone with color blindness?

Answer 1

left handed people live in a world designed by right handed people. left handed people do have a reduced life expectancy due to increased incidence of accidents.

i am colourblind. i choose not to drive in towns i do not know after dark unless i have a wakeful passenger. i have lost count of the number of times i have not seen traffic lights because i was concentrating on the road or traffic.

traffic lights are all the same colour and the same colour as streetlighting. in the dark traffic lights are just another light in one's peripheral vision.

i can't see sunburn, or bruising, or blushing, or red warning lights on car dashboards. these deficiencies put me at a disadvantage.
