I agree with cars being the problem. I only thought about that when I learned that laws were drafted to force electric cars to make noise - for a brief couple of seconds I realised how different the world would be if all cars were silent... and then I got my hopes crushed.
I truly cannot picture what life would be like without car noise and light pollution.

- matthewheath 8y agoIn the UK at least, there's a good reason behind the law. Electric cars are required to make noise so that visually impaired people know a car is approaching.
