thank you Ruez.
Roman, you are an idiot.. i wasnt talking about bike vs pedestrian. I sincerely hope you dont have a driver's license.
I know you were talking about bike vs. pedestrian. You are the owner of the deadly weapon, it is your responsibility to make sure that you don't hit people. It is not everyone else's responsibility to make sure that you don't make accidental speed bumps out of pedestrians because you were too lazy to pay attention to your surroundings.

We could all ways install a loud speaker that blairs a "vroom vroom" sound.
I always thought of that. Have a speaker outside that you could use produce a fake 'engine' noise.
You could have fun with it too. '69 Camaro. . . Freight Train . . . Romulan Warbird

I suppose we could have speakers installed on every car that continually has a recording saying "Car approaching" on the front and "Car departing" on the back. Of course your average non-blind pedestrian would probably snap after five minutes and start chasing traffic with a baseball bat telling them to get out fo their heads.

How about a speaker hooked up to a GPS that continually has a recording saying "The walk light to cross [name of next cross-street] is now on. (chirp) (chirp) (chirp)."

Hey! Having them hit because hybrids are silent is one thing, but baiting them into the street is just wrong!

I used to work in IT security. It was my job to think of ways to abuse systems
