(Yes this is a trick question. I know plenty of blind people who learned the road rules, and I see no reason why they shouldn't be able to help their kids learn to pass the theory exam that so many countries impose). The driving school refuses to add text to their layout, which is a more-or-less exact copy of the layout used in the official exam.

Discoverability for speech recognition users would be poor? I suspect there is always a susability cost when you don't have a default visual indicator. An advantage of defining an association between media and a long text alternative using markup semantics is that client software at least has the option of providing such an indicator.
