GRA said:The VSP is there to warn "visually-impaired and other pedestrians". How precisely is the former group supposed to 'look around'?sckayak said:<snip>If you decide to walk into the road (or parking lot), it is your responsibility to "look" around to make sure a vehicle is not coming toward you before you walk into the path of a vehicle. Surely you don't walk into the path of a vehicle without looking both ways? <snip>youngr3 said:Just curious, do any of you who are trying so hard to turn off the VPS switch ever worry about the consequences of hitting someone with it intentionally turned off? Why do you think Nissian removed the switch? The liability for any reverse or slow speed pedestrian accident with it turned off is unimaginable.......and the punitive costs uncalculatable. You would loose everything you own!
And to reply to absasile, while the small number of EVs currently on the road may not be a problem, what happens when the numbers increase and it does become a significant problem?
What is a "visually impaired" person doing in the road in the first place? By the time the "visually impaired" person hears a car it will be too late anyway.
