I thought it was Left-Right-Left! Unless you are in England!!?!?
I think comments about Noisy cars hitting people is right on. I don't think the problem is quiet cars. As others have noted, there are lots of very quiet cars that are NOT hybrids! We do need a culture shift for people to start LOOKING for cars (and those sneaky quiet bicycles as well.)
I suppose we could also "smell" for oncoming traffic if it was waste vegetable oil. If you smell donuts or fries, don't step off the curb...
I am thinking about adding a backup beeper to my Electro-Metro. The car is small, black, and quiet. People don't expect it to start moving in reverse, with no noise first!
