 Proposal would make hybrid cars noisier to protect the blind | |
May 08, 2008 - 9:16 AM - by TechGuy |  |
The measure would require the Transportation Department to establish safety standards for hybrids and other vehicles that make little discernible noise, including an audible means for alerting people that cars are nearby.

Isn't that called a horn?
Seriously, though -- I've owned a Prius for two years and actually had a similar incident only a month after I bought it. I was driving in the alley behind my house and an elderly man was walking in front of me. He had no idea I was behind him. I hesitated for the two minutes it took him to walk to the end of the alley -- should I honk my horn and scare the heck out of him? I didn't, but I did wish I had a button to force the gas engine to turn on so he knew I was there. Just a subtle "ah-hem" would be perfect.
I'm concerned that if hybrids are required to make some new "discernible noise", they become more annoying than the kids who pump their stereos so loud that I can't tell if my heart is beating.

Ofcom figures say that 59 per cent of five-year-olds regularly use the net and 21 per cent of those are often unsupervised.
