Blind people can’t see or hear... hybrids

why are blind people in the road?

or why are hybrid drivers on the sidewalks?

:)

Don't underestimate the blind. There once was a blind man who picked up a hammer and saw.

from what end? and Did you hold the nail?

I predict that one day we will demolish all our old cities one by one as they are replaced by properly planned futuristic cities where people work at the core and live in developments that form concentric circles around the core. There will be sheltered moving sidewalks for walking to work. Most will simply work out of their home and be connected via the Internet.

blind people, you're not playing in traffic I'm pretty sure you'll be ok

this is a genuine problem.

and you're being really inconsiderate guys. perhaps you don't live in urban areas, but the blind get along just fine with crosswalks that beep and other such assists. and except for hybrids, they know when it's safe to cross. as an example...if they can't hear a car, how would they know it's not turning right on red?

i sighted, but i've nearly been hit by some nit wit in a prius flying around a corner in a parking garage.

it's a problem that needs to be addressed.

Well this problem falls back to the driver. Not hard to spot a blind person with a walking stick or dog.

unfortunately, we're surrounded by idiot drivers. so, again, this a real problem.

This is stupid...might as well attack on people walking...that's quiet.

I guess hybrid drivers need to roll down the windows and blast car stero really really loud, eh? Would that solve this problem? How about a vibrating cane for blind person when hybrid drives near by?

tell them to use the force

would the writer of the article prefer Harleys with STRAIGHT PIPES that you can hear from 3 miles away!!???

as the rider of a QUIET, FAST honda, it annoys me NO END that hogs which make more NOISE than power pollute the atmosphere. even more annoying than those rolling jukeboxes with thundering bass you hear ONLY from a few blocks away!

OLD domestic pickups with LOUD exhausts (and most UNsporty handling and performance) are also a major annoyance.

still doesn't situation such as making a right on red. duh.

and i find that lexus drivers are the most clueless. they're usually so out of touch with the road that they're dangerous. not to mention many of them are so advanced in age that they shouldn't be driving anymore.
