So when a deaf driver runs you over they won't be hurt.
BTW.. being deaf is not a choice.
Yeah, but where I ride, there are cars all over, in front, behind, next to, there road next to the one I'm riding on, in parking lots, all making noise at the same time, lots of noise, all around me. How do I determine which noise is a danger? With hearing, I cannot. With my eyes, I stand a better chance, Use a mirror if you are worried about what is behind you, it is much more accurate, and you can actually see what part of the lane they are in. Your ears cannot.
