Talking about laws for cars in California, the California Legislature says that electric and hybrid vehicles, while great for the enviroment, are bad for the blind. It has passed a bill to ensure that the vehicles make enough noise to be heard by "visually imparied" people who want to cross the street. The measure would establish a committee to recomend ways the vehicles could make more noise.
My recomendation to Arnold is to kill two birds with one stone. Electric and hybrid vehicles should be required to NOT balance their tires. No more lead weights and the thump, thump, thump of the unbalanced tires will alert the blind folks.
I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried, LOL.
