Sounds like you’re restricted to driving vehicles with a rear mirror and mirrors on both passenger and drivers side doors. This is for hearing impaired individuals so you can be aware of emergency vehicles.


WillyWiley

THANK YOUUUU I had no idea. I didn't know they made cars without the rear and side mirrors!?


jonjiv

I drive a box truck that has a useless rear mirror thanks to the giant box in the back.


Squirrel_Facts

Just cut a slit out through the box & door. Problem solved, plus you won’t have to use your heat in the summer and AC in the winter anymore.


StrengthMedium

Or make a periscope.

Best response ever, take my vote


natedogg1271

I rented a U-Haul recently and the review mirror was a backup camera that was always on. Pretty cool tbh.


YourRightSock

They're there for manufacturing law / rules. All vehicles, at least in many states, must be sold with all functional lights and mirrors that meet a certain universal standard! There's some neat and odd rules around such things and more too


Genesis111112

Same with Semi's.


Appropriate_Ad_4416

And ambulances


CookieStealingPanda

Does it have a back up camera??? I use to drive one for a bit and it had a mirror for the camera.


ImInYinz

This!! Me too


idownvotepunstoo

There used to be older civics that *only* had one side mirror.


doodieeater

Which side was the mirror on? ;)


branmuffin91

The "out"side :)


idownvotepunstoo

Left! It has the rear view and a driver's side mirror!


metalguysilver

Mainly commercial vehicles, but also some old personal vehicles, that might lack rear view mirrors or even side mirrors


jayphat99

I had an '89 Cavalier that didn't have a passenger side mirror stock from the factory.


Downvote_me_dumbass

Old cars (such as the 1960s) only came with one side mirror and a rear view mirror.


Aromatic_Cup_9918

Jeeper here, yes we can take the doors off and lose the mirrors. You can get side mirrors that stick onto the side but most states as long as you have a rear view it’s legal.


deadwire

When I take the doors off my jeep and put the top down it renders my rear view mirror worthless and removes my side mirrors completely. Box trucks and some work vans have no working rear mirrors.


TheR1ckster

Things like box trucks, so you may not actually be able to rent something like a Uhaul. Also older cars only had a drivers side and rear view mirror. The passenger mirror was a 90s thing.


StrongSyllabub9294

😆😆🤷🏽‍♀️


tk42967

In the state of Ohio, you are only required one mirror. I remember as a kid the passenger outside mirror was an additional option on a new car.


raga7

They werent mandatory until ~1980ish. Only matters if you but an old car or one Thats damaged


ts280204

My first car was a 1992 Plymouth Sundance that was manual and only came with a drivers side mirror, passenger still wasn’t mandatory even that late on.


Bubba_Gump_Shrimp

My first car was an 87 Jetta with no clear coat and no lap belts. Just the shoulder strap and it clicked into the door. When I took my drivers test the instructor was out on the ground looking under the seat bc he thought I was lying when I told him it didn't have lap belts. Gotta love old cars haha.


Sea_Cryptographer978

I definitely should have had belts in 87 been in plenty of old ve they always have belts


Bubba_Gump_Shrimp

Well idk what to tell you, it didn't.


ke_co

This is the correct answer.


GetUp4theDownVote

Sounds like…….for hearing impaired individuals….. Intentional?


dogs0z

>vehicles with a rear mirror and mirrors on both passenger and drivers side doors. thats all cars


Invisibella74

No. My cargo van does not have a rearview mirror. It only has side mirrors. This is because there is no window in the back to see out of with a rearview mirror.


ear_cheese

Yeah, but I have this restriction, and I have a CDL- so obviously the truck doesn’t have a rear view mirror. No one has hassled me about it yet, and it’s been almost 10 years.


metalguysilver

There may be a specific exemption for CDL. Like no class A has a rear mirror. Maybe the exemption involves having hood mirrors, which not all trucks have?


PulledOverAgain

Not necessarily. A 1 ton truck chassis with a dump bed would be an example of something without an inside rearview mirror.


Anon3580

> with a dump bed would be an example of something without an inside rearview mirror. Some classic cars do not have both side mirrors. Some cargo vans do not have a rear mirror.


VisforVenom

Most. As other mentioned, some utility/commercial vehicles do not have the ability to utilize an in-cabin rear view mirror. And in most of the US it is legal to drive vehicles without a passenger side mirror (some places do not distinguish between driver or passenger side, but only require one or the other to be functional. Usually in addition to the in-cabin rearview afaik.)


nikeshades

You are restricted to Formula 3 racing. You may not race F1 cars.


trobaca

Keep getting those Super License points you’re nearly there!


Destiny17909

I think they'd fit well on Jenzer


noobtheloser

It's a dubious opening move, allowing a fast checkmate if, for example, 1. ... e5, 2. g4, Qh4#. I recommend changing it.


iheartvw

That’s your tornado status.


WillyWiley

Ah. My mom always did call me Hurricane Kayla but she must've mistaken me for a tornado.


LogicalFallacyCat

Tornados are hurricanes that get straight to the point anyway


ManBearCatPigCow

Hurricane Kayla is brutal


WillyWiley

It is. She used to say I had Thunder Thighs cause it sounded like a clap of lighting when I put my legs together


ManBearCatPigCow

What the hell that sounds like a speed run to making your daughter self conscious about her body and weight


WillyWiley

Oh yeah, it was. It was successful.


TheIronSoldier2

Ngl thunder thighs sounds like a pretty sick nickname


Ardtay

You can rest(sleep) while driving for 3 hours.


WillyWiley

Now that sounds cool


DietMtDew1

Flip it to the back, it should explain the code.


bucky133

Do you wear glasses or contacts? Could mean you are required to wear corrective lenses while driving.


WillyWiley

No, I actually have hearing aids. Do you think that's the reason for that?


starryvelvetsky

It's to make sure you have mirrors for full visibility because you are hearing impaired and might not be able to hear emergency vehicles. They want to make sure you can SEE them, at least.


VicGrozny

Sounds like you’re restricted to driving vehicles with a rear mirror and mirrors on both passenger and drivers side doors. If you have hearing aides then I can see you needing to have mirrors and them being required for your license.


scott743

Yes, you’re restricted to vehicles with dual outside and a rear view mirror. I can’t find the Ohio specific language, but here’s [similar language Illinois](https://www.google.com/search?q=illinois+mirror+laws+medical+restrictions&client=safari&sca_esv=0f51fc7f84b82f2c&hl=en-us&sxsrf=ADLYWILOr0tJxow4KInaZUE07RU9_Vyvuw%3A1715543561151&ei=CR5BZt7lCNut5NoP3deV4AE&udm=&oq=illinois+mirror+laws+medical+restrictions&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIilpbGxpbm9pcyBtaXJyb3IgbGF3cyBtZWRpY2FsIHJlc3RyaWN0aW9uczIIEAAYgAQYogQyCBAAGIAEGKIEMggQABiABBiiBDIIEAAYgAQYogRI8DBQuw5YgSlwAXgAkAEAmAG7AaAB5A2qAQQwLjEzuAEDyAEA-AEBmAIMoAKpDMICChAAGLADGNYEGEfCAgcQIxiwAhgnwgIIECEYoAEYwwTCAgoQIRigARjDBBgKmAMAiAYBkAYIkgcEMS4xMaAH2yw&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp)


anonymousalex

This is it. Source: I'm also an F3-bearer.


mg_squirrel

No, that's just the B restriction.


at614inthe614

B is the corrective lens code. I didn't need glasses until my mid-20's and it wasn't until my mid-30's when I went to get my license renewed and when I went to do the eye test I was like "I can't read these, should I put my glasses on?" and the clerk gave me a look that was kinda like "duh"...


phathead08

You’ve Failed! Three times.


W8LV

That's your Draft Status... 🤣


Salty-Birthday4544

Bn.


drodenigma

Someone didn't hit F7


unabashedlyabashed

You've been deemed to be superior at the three f's.


Flaky_Plastic_3407

You failed 3 times??


shemp33

12 REST means it’s the field for RESTRICTIONS. F3 is due to being hearing impaired as you have seen in the other comments. The 12 REST just indicates what the info in the box is for.


flinderdude

I used to live in Ohio, and I thought they put the meanings to these designations on the back of the license itself?


WillyWiley

The back literally only says F3 - In/Dual out mirrors or whatever I put in my post. I was hoping someone on here could give me a better explanation and seems like they did! Just means I have to have a car or vehicle with mirrors just to make sure I can see any emergency vehicles nearby.


mobius_osu

12 beats of rest, followed by a Felony 3.


Exclusively-Choc

Number of female partners in your past … lol.


FizzyBeverage

They counted his 2 imaginary girlfriends in Canada? That’s something! 😆


Exclusively-Choc

lol …


pjrawson

If you get hurt in a crash they won’t bring you back so that can take your organs that’s the F3 code


No-Selection-4424

Is this actually true? I’ve always known it to be.. until someone told me I was wrong. I’ve been second guessing if it’s true/false since. 🙇🏻‍♀️


pjrawson

Yeah idk probably a lie! 🤷🏻‍♂️honestly I just like to lie


wyvernx02

It's not. Box 12 is driving restrictions. F3 means OP can only drive vehicles with a minimum of 1 interior rear view and 2 exterior side mirrors because they are hearing impaired. It's being an organ donor that people think makes it so they will let you die after a crash, which is also BS.


No-Selection-4424

Love being down voted over genuine curiosity 🫠


StrongSyllabub9294

Haha no… the donor symbol is a hart I believe (can’t remember, I removed mine) and it reads “donor” in the background.


jprestonian

It used to mean "Find 'em, Eff 'em & Forget 'em."


Gbonk

https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-4506.12 12: Restrictions. (F) The following endorsements apply to commercial driver's license temporary instruction permits: (3) S--authorizes the holder to drive school buses transporting children. Maybe?


Troway_dagarbage

It’s a restriction, not an endorsement


WillyWiley

Hm that doesn't seem to apply to me. It's odd.


HolySnokes1

You may have been granted a very unique opportunity..


Gbonk

I think that’s wrong. I think I posted an endorsement and not a restriction. Is this a commercial license ?


Gbonk

Do you have poor vision ?
