No physical defect of an applicant shall prohibit the applicant from receiving a license unless it can be shown by common experience that such defect results in an incapacity to safely drive a motor vehicle, except as provided in RSA 263:13.
II. The director may enter into agreements with foreign jurisdictions related to the waiver of road skill examinations for applicants currently licensed in such foreign jurisdictions. The director may adopt rules pursuant to RSA 541-A to enforce the terms of such agreements.
