Odd, my little brother had bad dyslexia and was a very high ranked BMX, kart and sports car racer, almost as good a me, as well as being a very good lacrosse and hockey player.

The study is flawed, actually Dyslexic people react in the same time frame but they turn left when they mean to turn right. I learned this at the last DAM (Mothers Against Dyslexia) meeting I went to.

I don't know, I'm still confused by those traffic warnings. Why do they have a sign for "POTS"?.

Dyslexic drivers 'slower to react than drinkers'

What about dyslexics who drink? Would that increase or decrease their problems?

Hmm I only get dyslexic when I'm having migraines. I do everything backwards. Talk backwards, write backwards...and I only drive if it's really important or an emergency.

The problem is, dyslexic people see that one very important red sign as "POTS".

How about Democrat Party members?

Moral relativism must be hard on drivers. Does the other person really have a red light? Why should a red light mean stop? What if the other person was born with an orientation that make "red mean go"? Are directional signs absolute? What if you are from England? Is is american cultural imperialism to drive on the right only? Perhaps we should rebuild all the roads to have "dirve on the left" as well as drive on the right roads?

Is that reeealy a red light OR is it a green light trapped in a red light socket?

Shullbit. Diagnosed in 4th grade. Dealt with it an got on with the rest of my life. Other than typos and crappy handwriting, I don't even notice it anymore.

Wanna go reaction time? Stage off against me at a stoplight some time.
