Folks,

Fittop:

LOL. And a very good afternoon to you my friend. You bring up an excellent point regarding quiet engines. In addition, mentioning the bicycle will likely get Jens' attention. Yes, those quieter cars may have certain auditory drawbacks. For one thing, they will require city dwellers to learn how to sleep without pervasive automobile noises berating their ears throughout the night. Pedestrians will just have to be more alert when jaywalking.

Wait, I think I see an opportunity here. You mentioned cell phones. We simply need to create an app for the new cell phones that will surely have to come along with RADAR. The app will allow these newly designed phones to warn those afoot of oncoming traffic.Meaning those who are concentrating on their texting rather than the traffic bearing down on them. Those wishing to get in on the ground floor of this fantastic money-making opportunity should send LeRoy a few thousand $3.005 US dollar bills with the serial number 0006 c/o HWH Hall, 007 None Such Avenue, Studley Grange, UK. Those not wishing to risk actual currency can send the same value in nine and 3/4 carat genuine imitation cubic zircon studded umbrellas.

We kids attached playing cards or stiff cardboard to our bike yokes so they touched the wheel spokes to create what we thought was the sound made by motorbikes. I suppose they also had some value to hard of hearing pedestrians as well. Concerned motorists driving quiet electric cars who are just good citizens or find they may be woefully underinsured in the event of serious injury to jaywalkers, could benefit from leaving their car windows down and their radios turned all the way up. They might also wish to have their radio tuned to a 24-hou station playing "Heavy Metal" music or repeat broadcasts of a Chinese New Year celebration.
