You know, deaf people have managed to survive by looking around before they step onto the road.

Anyone who thinks we need cars to make loud noises just so that everyone can feel safer, I will personally make sure to blare my horn as loudly as possible as I drive past their house at 2 am.

That's a great solution if your not blind. Or navigating somewhere with poor sight lines like a parking garage.
