(pedestrian) almost hit by Prius!
I just got an e-mail from my brother, concerning his safety. Sounds like the problem was a quiet vehicle COMBINED with a bad/inattentive driver.
Here's his message to me.
"I had a Prius scare the hell out of me when i was crossing the street to go to the post office.
It had just made a right hand turn and barely made any noise.... almost ran me down.
Those things need to play a music ringtone or something.
<I'm too sexy for my car..to sexy for..>"
Please note that my brother is currently on crutches, and doesn't usually dress as either a ninja, or in camoflage.
So what do you think? Should Hybrids be "belled"?
If quiet is dangerous, should we also force bicycles to be louder too?
Why or why not? Please explain your answer.
