Hybrid Car Noise Bill to Protect Pedestrians
#32
Just an update...I did receive an e-mail from DOT/NTSB, they do not track hybrid vehicles as a separate category of vehicle accidents, nor do they track blind pedestrians separately from any other pedestrian injury, so they have no way to shed any light on this topic.

I have not received a response from the National Federation of the Blind.

So far, there is not one documented instance, anywhere, of a blind pedestrian being struck by a hybrid automobile. I'm not saying it hasn't happened, just that I haven't yet been able to find such a thing.

Maybe I'll try to work through the legislators in Hawaii, Maryland, and Virginia who are sponsoring legislation, to see if they are acting because a blind person got scared, or if they have any factual information about real injuries or deaths to blind pedestrians.

Aloha! ;-)
