-- deaf participant in a big statewide event
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is the biggest
sporting event in Alaska. It gets a lot of
attention all over the world. And for years
all participants were hearing mushers. Eight
years ago the first deaf musher entered the
race - Andrew Huntington. He plans to continue
racing as long as he is able to do so. The
race distance is about 1,000 miles and it
takes between 9 to 15 days, depending on
weather, for the race to be completed.
-- deaf driver problems with Lyft
Is Lyft a deaf-friendly company to work
for? They are in competition with Uber.
A deaf driver said he cannot communicate
with the Lyft management on proper
classification of his vehicle. He says
it can seat seven people, but Lyft says
his vehicle seats five people. Also
when a passenger hit him on the head,
he was not able to file a complaint with
Lyft. And the computer he uses to get
rides sometimes informs him via voice
instead of text.
