As someone born with the same condition, the penalties seem rather off to me. I have just about zero trouble with hand-eye coordination and combat (well, Combat Sport — SCA-flavoured) at any range below about fifteen feet.
Beyond there, the -3 to unaimed ranged attacks is reasonable, and I would say that the -1 applies even when Aiming for any significantly arcing attack — e.g., throwing a rock is a pain at any distance, firing an arrow is difficult at a moderate range, and firing a gun is fine until much longer runs.
Driving was initially somewhat difficult, but I rapidly learned to compensate — nowadays I think I would only have trouble with deliberately skewed or falsified perspective cues, e.g., scaled-up or -down vehicles, or driving on the Infinite Featureless Plain that some people insist GURPS combat must take place upon.
Perhaps I've partially bought off the disadvantage through training?
