I was wondering why some people drive the way they do.... That explains it...
Hey, you know why they put those reflectors/bumps between the lanes... So blind people can drive by brail....

Reminds me of a great scene in an Aussie movie "Proof" ..
*****
Hero (played by Hugo Weaving), blind brom birth, drives a Kingswood (iconic Aussie rust bucket) around Melbourne backstreets under verbal direction from a mate ... you can guess how well
Cut.
Fade into police station interior:
Cop: (words to the effect of) What possessed you to drive? You're blind!
Hugo: (deadpan) I forgot.
*****
Dunno how the cop noticed - they all drive like that in Melbourne (oh, hello, DJ)

All the drivers around here just seem to drive deaf. They all seem to have a phone to one ear, Blackberry in the other hand.

Speaking of that... last night a guys runs into one of our cars parked in the street in front of our house. Spun the thing around and trashed his car. His excuse... he was reaching down to get his cell phone...OU812 wrote:All the drivers around here just seem to drive deaf. They all seem to have a phone to one ear, Blackberry in the other hand.

Actually, while going to college in Texas, we use to take our totally blind friend out and let him drive. We also use to eat his food "when he wasn't looking" (which was always), so letting him drive sort of made up for that.Boxer wrote: Could he do this in Texas?
The best at driving blind and dancing blind has got to be Al Pacino - in Scent of a Woman.

We have a card-entry gate into the back of our community. If your card doesn't work for some reason, there is a small sign there that says push button to talk to front-gate guard. It is also printed in braille. I've often wondered who needs it!
