Blind people hate hybrid cars. Why? They're too damn quiet. Now you might say, well I've never seen a blind person crossing the road before. I said that too. The next month, I saw three blind people crossing the road on campus. In fact, today my boyfriend saw a blind person with a leader dog almost get hit by a hybrid car. Luckily the dog was there and stopped and walked around the car. Luckily, I live on a campus that is very blind-friendly. There are sections of raised bumps that indicate you'll enter the road, and the walk signs talk and count down. However, it me thinking.... We all know it's hard for anyone with a disability, especially the loss of a sense. I think we do not give them enough credit. Many people who are, for lack of a better word, sense-less are independent just like the rest of us. They rely on a dog or a cane to get around and constantly have to put trust in other people that they will treat them the right way, help them out, and not hit them. Hybird cars aren't the problem. The people driving the cars are the problem. What kind of person are you that you do not stop or slow down for a blind person? They should not be afraid to cross the road because they cannot hear the hybrid cars coming. They shouldn't have to worry about it. Pedestrians have the right of way.
