Future Cars: The Silent Killer
by Some of them get the best mpg ever known in history. They’ll start to save our world from global warming. They’re green, their cool, and most of them are even affordable. That doesn’t mean they don’t come without a price..
A low hum is usually they only thing heard from new generation cars coming out. Thats one of the perks, but does it have the potential to become a deadly hazard?
Picture that dark evening, while someone is walking on a road that has been car-free for hours. Its not a main road and the shoulder is really small, so that someone decides to walk in the road a bit. They assume that they’ll be able to hear the car coming and get out of the way. They get deeply consumed in their thoughts as they continue their walk home.
Another person, who was upset from a fight, is driving around trying to straighten their thoughts. They don’t really have a destination and finally give up, deciding to turn around and head back home. They roads that person drive back on, are dark with few street lamps. The lanes are small, but its not busy with other drivers, so they continue on.
The person walking home is so consumed by their thoughts, they hear nothing but the wind through the tree’s. They look up at the trees, and miss the headlight beams on the ground.
The driver could barely see the guy wearing a dark blue sweater and black jeans. They were busy thinking about getting back home to straighten things out.
When the car and the person collided, it was to late. The driver didn’t see the person walking in the road, and the person walking didn’t hear or see the car coming behind them.
If that same car had been a loud, purring hotrod, or a clanky old mazda, that person in the street would have heard it coming with enough time to get out of the road. Instead, an accident occurs, and who’s to blame?
With all common sense, we can say that the driver should have been paying more attention, and the person should not have been walking in the road for any reason. But is it really their fault?
The road was dark and uninhabited from cars and people, as far as they could tell. There weren’t any street lamps and the shoulder and lanes of the street were small. This is not a common accident these days, unless you ad in alcohol or drugs. Yet, the quiter the cars are, the more likely this accident will happen, and it will only be magnified by substances.
Well, readers, it is up to you to make the final judgement. I can only state my opinions and the facts I have researched. In the the end, you decide if its fact or fiction.
