Hybrid Cars pose risk to blind/visually impaired

Oh come the fuck on! A story ripping on cars that use less gas makes it to the frontpage yahoo news?

Why, because a hybrid user doesnt know when to break at a friggin' intersection or go the 5 MPH speed limit in a parking lot?!

Sorry but.. no. And that's my 50 cents.

Are blind people really getting hit by silent hybrid cars? Because I doubt a blind person would walk across a busy street without any assistance. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

I also doubt that any blind people are benefiting from the braille buttons on drive-thru ATM machines. But hey, that's just what I think.

Hey.. you know what those bumps on a girls nipples are?

That's Braille for LICK ME!

Just to be on the safe side if I get a hybrid vehicle I will make sure I steal the music player from a ice cream truck just so they can hear me coming.

The blind get all the attention, whether it's this thread, or the other one where the blind woman got tasered. WHO IS THINKING OF THE DEAF, I ask you!

They are being run over by traditional gasoline-powered invisible cars as we speak!

This is as bad as the Def Comedy Jam fiasco...how can they enjoy it if they can't hear the jokes? Damn fuckers! :thefinger

If you passed out free LSD it'd be a portable, mobile trip waiting to happen.

"Hey dude.. what's that noise?"

"Is that the song white rabbit in ice-cream-truck style?! NO WAI! Omg.. the lights.."

I dunno why, but my mental images are pretty.. mental.

Why can't the driver watch where the hell he's going?

So blind people are driving hybrids now? Boy the BMV is really getting liberal on their rules nowadays!

Another bullshit story, aboout absolutly nothing. Why do certain foundations always feel the need to bitch about something, and if its not them its someone else.

If a blind person just walks out into a busy road they deserve to be hit just like anyone else and if they are walking in a busy road because they dont know what they are doing, then the American Council of the Blind are not doing their job properly.

Or just strap a cowbell to it. :1orglaugh

Shayd's got the right idea!

I don't think that blind people should be driving anyway.

 

[Legzman]

if one is blind or otherwise visually impaired, perhaps it would be best they don't get behind the wheel. Just a suggestion!

 

[Friday on my mind]

Its not that they are trying to drive LOL.They can't hear the things since they are so quiet and so they are a hazard to them.

 

[calpoon]

I'm forced to choose between my distaste for loud cars and pedestrians getting run over? sounds like a lose-lose situation.

Bmw + liberal :O ? are we surely talking about the company that makes over priced "cars" with all features copied from cheaper and better cars

But yeah back to topic. WTF is wrong with people. :| "hey those people are making cars that cause no pollution that causes our kids to get diseases. Lets punish them for something evil like that!"

I dont drive a hybrid. Blind pople really do always get attention. When the hybrid escalade comes out I would like that but it runs on two mode so it is never just running on battery except for reverse. Oh maybe they wont here me backing up!:thefinger

I used a half tank on my f-250 today for delivering customers cars. $3.81 a gallon here in NJ is not bad (but not good) considering it is over $4.00 in PA.

:O damn gasoline is cheap there in usa today gas price was 1.559 euros per liter (which is 9.3 dollars per gallon), so think about that :/ and why are things like this?

Because usa attacked iraq just 'cause "they had nuclear weapons" you know the afghanistan is the country where those "terrorists" were supposed to be from, not iraq.
