Taking a walk? Watch out for hybrids.At low speeds, they move primarily by means of electricity, without the exhaust rumble and gear whine that have for 100 years signaled the approach of an internal-combustion engine. The result? Bicyclists and pedestrians are injured twice as often by hybrids. In 2009, the most recent year for which there is data, vehicles struck and killed 4,092 pedestrians. An additional 50,000 or so are injured each year. Jeezzz im glad that there are not many of those cars out there!! what do you guys think???

  • I think electric cars are a good idea, but people just need to look twice before they cross the street.

  • Wow. Even though they are good for the environment they are bad for us.

    • Like I said, people need to look both ways before crossing the road. If you're blind that is an exception because a lot of times you'll have a dog helping you and the dog will stop.

  • I can see why that is people can't hear them so they don't get over quick enough before the car hits them.

  • uhh that is scarryyy!! and thats a pretty big number..youde think that the company would be trying to do something about it!

  • It is there fault there not looking for them 

  • It's not my fault people can't look both ways before crossing the road or street. When you grew up people always said look both ways. What happened to that? Apparently people don't know how to do that anymore. I have no problem with these type cars. They are helping the environment.

  • Haha we sould just stay with what we had.
