Re: blind hazard?
This sounds cold, but I have little sympathy for sighted people that are spooked or nearly hit by hybrids. Open your eyes, duffus!
For sight impaired people, I understand their point, but cannot the same be said for bicycles, and they have been around for 100+ years.
And don't get me started on cyclists...the WORST traffic law offenders out there!

There's also a thread in the general forum on this:

Re: blind hazard?
Just think, if all the cars out there were as quiet, there would be less background noise to mask the hybrids. I mean, we're pretty quiet (I snuck up on someone walking in the parking lot at work once, hehe), but not exactly silent by any means. Tires still grate against sand/pavement, etc. And aren't blind people supposed to develop more sensitive hearing as they compensate for the loss of vision?
Idunno, somehow I don't think the solution really ought to be "make quiet cars artificially louder".

Re: blind hazard?
I love my quiet car! Really, drivers should pay attention as well. And as mentioned, they do make noise. I am sorry for the blind. It is horrible to live that way, but honestly, we do not need more noise pollution.
