    I work in a maximum security prison, & we have inmates from a nearby minimum facility brought in to maintain the grounds. This morning I turned into the row where my assigned parking place is, and as I made the turn in my 2010 Prius I saw an inmate kneeling on the ground, picking up branches that had blown down in a storm last night. I was lucky to stop before I hit him.

    I rolled down my window & said, "Good thing I saw you down there." He looked up at me & answered, "Oh, I would have heard your engine before you got close enough to hurt me."

    "No, you wouldn't. It's an electric engine."

    "I still would have heard you."

    At that point I took my foot off the brake & rolled silently toward him. His eyes got real wide & he said, "Yeah, I guess it is good you saw me!"

    When he gets out he will probably get one and use it to sneak up behind female pedestrians, reach out the window and grab their purse. :p
