I just ran across this bill SB2550 and I wanted to bring this to someones attention.
Requires the DOT to establish minimum sound level standards for all phases of hybrid vehicle operation, applicable to every new vehicle sold in this State and licensed for use on its public streets, roadways, or highways; report to 2009 legislature on findings.
I get the fact that they are trying to protect pedestrians, but to establish a "minimum sound level" just seems so awkward to me.[
]
Don't most people that own their Hybrids like the fact that they are so silent?
Wouldn't this bill impede the sales of Hybrid vehicles?

Happy Birthday Aaron
