I'm thinking a device like a 'backup alarm' such as those on garbage trucks that's simply on all the time.

I’m imagining downtown rush hour traffic at a near standstill, hundreds of cars backed up at traffic lights, moving at a snail’s pace...all of them emitting frequent periodic electronic “chirps”, like the sound of a smoke detector’s low battery signal. Aaaah...it’ll be grand!
Other than that, I guess this is the most important thing for the House to have been working on today. Will they rush the bill to the golf course for Ozero to sign?

See, this is great, the moment I heard of this brain dead legislation, I started figuring out how to install custom sounds into vehicles. Crazy Frog Prius, anyone? :)

Considering the naming of previous bills,
I’m surprised this “pedestrian safety” bill
didn’t outlaw private walking.

Luckily, the hippies driving these cars smell horrendous, so the visually impaired just need to rely on olfactory rather than aural cues.

how about some 300 watt stereo speakers which play Low Rider by War at full volume any time the car is moving?

Like all things done in Washington, the actual result will be exactly the opposite of that ostensibly intended.

I feel bad now, because I don’t have a device. So if I see a blind person, I think I’ll honk my horn, so they know I’m coming.
Some of your newer cars probably don’t make enough noise either, so maybe we should ALL honk our horns when we see blind people — for their safety.
To: NormsRevenge
Blind people should be issued special electronic devices, like EZ-pass. When a “quiet” car senses a blind ez-pass, it can then feed back to the device, which would be strapped around the blind person’s neck. The mild electric shock would warn the blind person that they should not step any further.
