Yes folks. There really are people out there who believe this should happen :D :) :)

Read all about it here (www.stuff.co.nz).

1373216 2014-04-21 04:37:00 Well I like the melodious sound of an old TS3 Commer Truck.

You can't miss that and every car should be made sound like one. :D

Possibly now the only Commer sound is the gentle patter of rust flakes hitting the ground. ;)

1373220 2014-04-21 05:46:00 Lots of modern cars, ( NOT electric either) are very quiet, so how does that work with these "Safety campaigners " Most of the time all you can hear is the sound of the tires on the road.

Blind people have an excuse, they can't see anything coming, what excuse do half the lazy buggers have that simply step out onto the road and NEVER look any way ?
