And I wasn't even driving a Prius...it was about 15 years ago, when I had a Datsun hatchback wagon.

OK, seriously, what good does a flashing yellow sign do for a blind person??

And... this is a new problem, in the past blind people could hear cars and therefor not walk out in front of you. With increased numbers of blind people walking in front of your car, the number of accidents will necessarily rise as well.

Are blind people being hit by a lot of bicycles? The only time my prius is too quiet to hear, I'm going too slow not to stop.
