That's a good point about the measurable risk. But I'm curious; who keeps this measurable verified link? For that matter is the propulsion system of a vehicle even identified? It's possible there are reported incidents; just that "hybrid" classification isn't a criteria of accident reports. I know that here on the mainland they can't tell if a pedestrian/auto accident involved a vehicle powered by gas, diesel, e-85, hybrid, coal fired, or powered by a nuclear reactor. Now Damon raised an interesting item. HI is not alone. This seems to be wider spread than reported. Curious how it's popping up all over the country and all seemingly aimed not at passing any state mandated requirement, just some nudging the federal government to set a standard. This may be some conspiracy, but by whom?
