Dutch driving law question

[clogged]

Since it seems to be Dutch day here. ;D

When one must use corrective lenses while driving a car, must one also use corrective lessons while riding a bike?

And if one is, oh, say, legally blind can one ride a bike legally? An electric bike? If one's blindness means one can only see really fuzzy colored-blobby things within 5 meters and only in full daylight?

I have no bicycle info in my driver's manual to verify this and I want to be right.

A bike needs lights in the dark, can't go on the highway or on sidewalks and besides thar yoy do whatever.

If you run over someone your liability insurance mughr thibk otherwise though.

I have fat fingers, please excuse typos!

but drunk drivng laws apply, don't they? I heard you can be stopped for drunk biking.

So blind dude is cool? (damn, I lost that point). And corrective lenses person is fine? ( squee! one point for me!)

Public intoxication laws apply, and being drunk in traffic (applies to walking too).
I doubt there are any laws explicitly forbidding you to ride a bike when you're blind, or are fuzzy sighted or whatever. It something no-one would do, definitely not in traffic. And as I said, I'm sure insurance companies have something in their policies.

I'm not 100 percent sure about any of this, but as I know Dutch law, I really really don't think it'd be forbidden. Probably because they can't make it illegal to be stupid!

BWA HA HA HA HA HA

Oh and the blind arguement? My neighbor. Blind as a bat (legally) and rides his electric bike everywhere. Occasionally waves at bushes because he thinks its a person standing to the side to let him pass. :-|
