I just get frustrated by the whole lack of responsibility – they want me to be 100% responsible if johnny “can’t take his eyes off of his phone” steps into the road – engine noise or not, that’s HIS bloody fault lol. My 7-year-old has more gadgets than you can shake a stick at and HE knows to stop and look – if a 7-year-old can do it, why can’t the idiot with the square eyes?
Before anyone pipes up, my 7-year-old has never crossed a road unsupervised in his life, but hopefully, with his nagging PITA dad hassling him every time we get to a road, when he does, he’ll still look!
Making cars noisier isn’t the solution in any way – I can pretty much guarantee there are more people walking around with noise-cancelling headphones on than there are blind people – they’re probably more of a danger and a little buzzer annoying the hell out of everyone else isn’t going to help.
