Racing roadkill
Guru
Toyota Prius driven below 30mph, in a town center. Ohh that was not good .
You need to learn to use your eyes not just rely on hearing, especially in urban environments where there's lots of sources of noise.
They should use some of the electric to make a Ferarri like engine noise keyed on the throttle.
That'd confuse people.
I think Boris planned to insist hybrid or electric cars in London had some form of noise maker attached to warn cyclists blind pedestrians etc.

We are touting vehicle noise pollution as a good thing?
It is also theoretically why cycles spook people as well
Exactly! Some people are obviously using "common sense" and "taking responsbility for their own actions" ***.I wonder why it is that the news isn't full of deaf cyclists and pedestrians being mown down by silent cars and bike riders. Could it be that they are just very aware of their surroundings by necessity? As @User says, more noise is not necessarily the answer.
