In the right column should also have : cannot be aware of others on the road if you can’t hear their regular engines around you.
You don’t need loud vehicles for that, you can still hear quiet vehicles today
Not if you have a louder vehicle.
that's what all the windows are for. use eyes
Hearing adds benefits. You cannot deny it.
benefits maybe. deaf ppl still drive fine
Never said they didn’t. I can see you live up to the user name.
my point proves yours moot. doesn't matter what you said or didn't say
The only situation here in Europe where I hear individual cars is when I'm a pedestrian on a fairly empty road or when they're obnoxiously loud.
Otherwise, I mostly hear my own car due to modern soundproofing and maybe the overall din of all the cars combined.
The former situation is actually addressed legislatively for really quiet cars (like EVs): They're required to have a minimum noise level. If they drive slow enough to be really quiet, they have to generate an artificial sound.
(Edit: I do hear motorcycles, because they tend to have a unique, loud sound.)
I found that a straight-through muffler made for a 99% reduction of pedestrians stepping into the road without looking.
Ah, you're a troll, thx for letting us know.
