Can colour-blind people drive?

[S@njay]

First off let me apologise for using the term colour bilnd, as i know its not PC, its just a general term that everyone accepts.

So can people with a colour defficiency drive, or had a problem getting a licence?

Read on the DVLA website that it does not affect the ability to view traffic signals for group 2 drivers. (what is group 2?)

Also i could not find any information of the minimun driving age on the dvla website, anyone got a link to the specific age restrictions?

Thanks

I dont even think there is a symptom not being able to see red/amber/green (http://psychology.ucalgary.ca/pace/VA-Lab/colourperceptionweb/congenital.htmhttp://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=1fwxcv5ben8is?tname=anthropometry&method=6&sbid=lc04a)

Its not PC as it should be called Colour deficiency (just like half cast/mixed race..).
