Silent hybrids to turn up the volume














The Japanese government is having a re-think about the dangers of silent hybrid cars. The Transport Ministry reported that vision impaired pedestrians feel their safety is being ignored because they are unable to hear the cars coming.

The panel may force manufacturers of hybrid cars to fit noise making devices to alert pedestrians of their presence.

It seems the Japanese have listened to my experience posted a few days ago. Perhaps I should have patented this idea last week.
