Delmar,
Please use your experience to explain how a burkha restricts peripheral vision so much that it cannot be corrected with mirrors. I acknowledge that the burkha gives her a blind spot. Mirrors correct blind spots. That's what they're for.
By the way, due to a congenital eye defect, my left-side peripheral vision ends at about 45 degrees from straight ahead. Most people's goes beyond 90 degrees ... they can stick something beside their ears and still see it -- I can't on the left. So I'm very familiar with the difficulties of driving with limited peripheral vision. (And believe me, the left peripheral vision is vastly more important in U.S. driving than the right -- physically, I'm more suited for U.K. driving).
You are not going to get away with picking and choosing your religious beliefs and demand exception after exception.
Um, picking and choosing is the point of religious freedom.
You know, its like how the Protestants "pick and choose" their Christian beliefs and fail to swear fealty to the Pope.
You aren't goint to get away with saying that some religious beliefs are legitimate for protection and some aren't. I don't really care if she get this no-photo belief from the Koran or the pink bunny rabbit under the front porch. The burden is on the state to explain why she should violate those beliefs in order to drive, and no one here had given any justification. (Although you, at least, have given some justification for concern about her vision, which I, of course, say can be fixed with mirrors).
