Hybrid Car Noise Bill to Protect Pedestrians
#27
From the author of the WSJ article that you cited, Damon, I got this reply:

Thanks for your email. In my course of reporting, I had heard of incidents, but nothing documented. There were close calls, though. But you might want to check with the National Federation of the Blind. Keep me updated on what happens to those bills.

From the NTSB, I got this reply:

We do not have these statistics. You might try the Dept. of Transportation, www.dot.gov

I'm not on a crusade or anything, I've already bought my 2008 Prius without the noisemaker, so I'm safe for a decade or two. I am just kind of curious where this is going to go in the Hawaii state legislature, and maybe some of you are, too. Think I'll just check in with www.dot.gov and the National Federation for the Blind, just to see what they've got to say.

Aloha! ;-)
