Lawmakers Say Electric Cars Are Too Quiet 28
California lawmakers are pushing a bill that would ensure electric vehicles make enough noise to be heard by blind and visually impaired people. The state senate has already passed the bill but the governator hasn't yet taken a position. If passed, the bill would establish a committee which would study ways electric vehicles could make more noise. The committee's recommendations would be due by 2010. May I suggest a siren or some baseball cards in the wheels.
Can't have it both ways (Score:3, Interesting)
We can have a few dead deaf people crossing the street a year, or we ALL die from global warming & air pollution. Which is better for you?
Better yet, if you're deaf, look both ways before crossing the dang street.
