CODA BROTHERS: DEAF DRIVING

CODA BROTHERS share a super funny story about driving with the Deaf. This clip is from the hilarious CODA BROTHERS DVD; Laugh. Learn. Sign.

[@JulieanneMalamon]

This is so true. I once had a 5 minute conversation with deaf people in another car in the lane next to me while we were driving down the highway. It would have continued but my exit came up.

[@mrssoapsoap]

To funny and all to familiar !! Both my parents are deaf and I too always controlled the radio!!! Now my children who adore thier grandparents love to ride with them cuz they too can control the radio.

[@brittanymeyer2544]

my coworker who happens to be deaf gave me a ride home this last Friday, and it is so like this!!! we were chatting and laughing and it was crazy. awesome. i love the deaf culture!!!!!

[@fefesprstr]

Hahahahahaaa!! I'm a coda also, it's sooo true about the music being very loud! Lol my mom would sometimes drop off my friends or something and they would be so fascinated that I could just blast the radio lol!

[@wasgibtsinheir]

And no CODA can forget about learning how to drive with a Deaf parent. While all of the hearing parents are yelling at their kids to focus on the road, all of the Deaf parents are trying to sign to their kids while they're driving, encouraging them to take their hands off the wheel. I remember all of the times my mom would be explaining something to me or telling me some story while I'm freaking out behind the wheel nodding my head or signing "yeah okay mom."

[@LorianMegganSimons]

Actually I use all mirrors to talk to people who were sitting on the back while I'm driving, hahaha oh yeah I do keep lights on at nighttime, music..... LOVE! I always have it blasting in my car!

[@VeronicaIsNice]

I'm a hearing first year ASL student, and not only is this video hilarious, it's also really helping me with an assignment! I keep watching it to see what classifiers they use and how they establish space. :)

[@nelliscarlet]

Hey guys, I'm a trainee interpreter from Australia and not only are these SO funny but they're awesome practise because you talk EXACTLY how you sign! You really bring your expressions right over in both languages and bridge that cultural gap, thanks so much for sharing these!!

[@Lady-lh6zp]

My life in a nutshell! that is why family trips are the best, never a dull moment!

[@kellinepickett4979]

hahaha, did anyone else notice that Andy rolled down his passenger side window while he was "driving" instead of his driver side? hahahahaha

[@stopthegop4894]

It was obviously a British road trip :)

[@duelstream.]

I'm hearing and taking ASL II, and that was very interesting to learn. I love watching these videos, you don't pick these things up in class too often. Thanks!

[@theliftedninja11]

Love this I am also coda.both my parents are deaf and I cant count how many times they scared me half to death.talking while driving (asl).sometimes im surprised im still alive haha keep the vlogs coming love em!

[@win4777]

Hi! I'm a CODA too! Both my parents were Deaf! I'm from New Jersey. Unfortunately where I live there is not a big community of Deaf people nor CODA'S! Of course as a child's I was around Deaf people as well as CODA'S...as an adult I never run into deaf people. How about you?

[@djwildwes]

Many similar stories as a coda. So many more.....

[@girloffaith16]

LOL I love your vlogs!! Thanks for sharing!

[@cdbicdb]

took my deaf friend home and YES, FIRST thing she did was turn on interior light! I didn't think anything of it then realized, without it how could we chat on way her house!!!

[@dangunwangum]

As a hearing person, I never knew!

[@EmilyMayBeStrange]

I'm so glad I found you guys! You're hilarious and in in my 3rd semester of Asl in college so watching you is great practice!

[@comeINcloser79]

First... love you guys!!!!! Second... Deaf back seat driving scares me to death especially when i am shot gun (can ya tell I'm hearing) Third..... really love you guys!!!!

[@nsharrell]

CODA & radio/ On long trips, I remember leaning over the front beach seat, between my two deaf parents, turning the dial because the station signal went out. I would be balancing and teetering, turning the dial slowly, while my parents conversed over my body. Trying to keep my balance whenever dad accelerated or braked (watch out for sharp turns!!) and of course the whole process repeated itself when that station went out and I had to find another one!!! yep, part of my CODA childhood, LOL!!!

[@zulita]

I love your existence way too MUCH!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed every video you boys did! Asl stay pure!

[@knibbles1882]

Ahahahaha! I'm hearing, and I can tell you that this is not that much of an exaggeration. Riding with Deaf drivers can be terrifying. :-) GREAT video.

[@desireedoesstuff]

I'm hearing with no deaf family but some deaf friends of family (my mom used to be interpreted and is now teacher of sign language) so the few times i road in a car with a deaf driver i was scared to death (probably just not used to it). funny thing, one time the deaf driver turned on the radio for my sister and i. we couldn't help but giggle even thou we where trying ti be polite. the driver asked us what was funny, the radio was set in between stations and all you could hear was static.

[@starsdreams]

oh my godness! thats hilarious, but definitely trueee!

[@Mars77ninja]

I'm usually keep my hands under my legs.... My parent are hearing and I'm deaf. So I don't talk them until it red light. :P

[@DeafDragonLady]

TRUE TRUE..... i had been thru this like similiar story you had for us.

[@theycallmeabs50]

Man, sometimes when I watch your videos, I wish either my parents or I were deaf.

[@yatekka]

my mom started screaming at me because i missed the turn to mcdonalds, and while shes screaming im freaking out cause im thinking that ive just done something so illegal and about to get us killed. fun times

[@katherineidanajar3804]

You guys are awesome, I can’t stop laughing

[@karifassett85]

"My adidas!" 😂👌

[@tymothybates]

You two real good ones. ;)

[@iza1ah]

[@abranda]

where are you from...are your wives this awesome? so funny!! NEED this

[@21kitkatbar]

my parents kinda look halfway at the road and whoever they're talking to, so far 25 yrs no accidents .....

[@ASLInterpreterSHansen]

That is beyond cute ;o) I'm glad you guys are still alive....Rap on!

[@shannonalise82]

Oh my god, that was amazing and hilarious. :)

[@growlwolf1]

true! lol!!

[@lbangotti]

my best friend drives with the steering wheel to his knee. It was hilirious. When all of us deaf when out ..hands would be flying all over the place. My mom..SHE won't let me drive when she is in the car because i sign to her ROFL and she is like..keep hands on the road ROFL haahahaha Oh gosh but it is true about deaf drivers...hysterical

[@dzemergency]

I never thought about the fact that you would get to control the radio! I'm a little jealous of that, haha! My parents always get the radio but they play the worst stuff they can find to torture us, I swear! Actually I think D people are good drivers! More in touch with their peripherals.

[@rwknoll]

Hahaha, you guys are amazing! Keep it coming. :D

[@Phrequency517]

You should explain getting directions from deaf to driver! Lol I could help! CODA DUANE MCNALLY

[@lillyadamski]

I'm a CODA too, I used to be very polite and I would ask them to change it to a certain station and volume.. but then after my parents would turn it up WAY too loud or a wrong station. Oh hellll no, getting up outta my seat

[@GingerWithASoul]

Just like how some people use their free hand to use the phone and text messaging. So yes you can communciate with your free hand but normaly, if my car is going straight down the road, I use both hands... not gonna need to do a u turn anyways!

[@pureandnaive]

lmao!

[@zomdeaf]

hahahaha i wonder if my kids do that???? ;) you know what? yea i think they do haha that would explain all the looks! lol thanks for the vid!

[@KatatMKP]

LOL that'd be something i'd do too - sign to my pets LOL... i sign to people who don't even know sign lol.... but it was easy stuff - and one was ad libbed really LOL.... like "i'm going on break"... the 'break' sign was made up. and i've said "i'm going on lunch" but that one was one sign off from being technically all correct... grammatically, i dunno, but i did the correct signs probably for SEE (exact english)

[@andredeltoro4102]

Lol vert true my mom hates riding with us lol

[@laurawilliams1452]

😂

[@tjolazabal]

@pandaluvr1994 Yes. Very much so. I commute with two hearing people and two deaf people. The person who drives is deaf and we constantly have to tell her to look out for something because she'll lip read the hearing kids in the mirror. But we have fun drives. Something new every day.

[@bennydarko]

Hahaha ppl thought your parents listened to Rap full blast. Lol

[@KatatMKP]

wow. i was wondering that yesterday too!! seriously - what's it like when 2 deaf people are in the car and one's driving, but the 2 are having a conversation? Wow - gotta be unsafe. LMFAO Here's my Question: do deaf people talk to themselves the way hearing people do? and i mean, full out signing -- but they're alone... so??

[@Gonler93]

hi just wonder about ur father... did he graduate from minnesota school for the deaf?? my Dad also graduated from there.. just curious if both of our dad know each other... pls respond... gonler93.. thanks

[@abbeybrookekampel]

Love this!! So, are you guys deaf? Are those your interpreters voices or your own? Thanks

[@dickm1393]

[@brinleestewart7562]
