Going too slow where, in the city? They're following traffic and/or speed limits. They also go on highways, but again, there are speed limits. I'm sure they could have a version for Germany where the max speed was adjusted to be appropriate for the autobahn.
As for turning their heads, does Germany make no exceptions for people with disabilities? I'm sure that they could implement a version of "show the instructor you're paying attention to the right thing".
Everywhere.
Well, not that kind of exception where "the requirements are forgotten and we can make everything easier just for you".
I don't know this specific thing, but in general, a disabled person must have some kind of aid that fully compensates the disability.
Think of eye glasses: your eyes are bad, so you are required to wear glasses (or contacts). Note that it is on you. You get an extra order written into your license saying that you always have to wear them when driving, and they must fully compensate your vision - otherwise you are not allowed to drive.
