GREEN MOVEMENT THROWS BLIND PEOPLE UNDER THE BUS

Because hybrids make virtually no noise at slower speeds when they run solely on electric power, blind people say they pose a hazard to those who rely on their ears to determine whether it's safe to cross the street or walk through a parking lot.

Funny how you're not hearing the self-righteous hippies bragging about THIS aspect of their green revolution.

Sigh. It sounds like the people who complain about lots of websits not catering to the visually impaired.

Hybrid drivers should make note of this and clothespin baseball cards into their wheels.

Build in a computerised speaker system to simulate exhaust noise. I'd keep it set to Harley just for the hell of it.

How about something like those plastic horn shaped things that are supposed to keep deer out of the way.
