On my bike, riding through a parking lot, one almost ran me over as I
was making a turn, it tried to go around me.
In a rotary on my bike, one tried to go around me on the outside when I
moved to go off the rotary onto another road it almost clipped me.
In both cases I was in the "right" (dead right maybe, but still right)
according to traffic law and common sense.
In both cases they were going rather slowly on battery, and made
absolutely no noticeable noise.

How can you not hear the noise a car makes on the pavement? They're far from
silent. I don't consider myself the most observant person in the world but I
notice when theres a car near me. Maybe I have a better self preservation
instinct than most people...

The gummint is going to require Pioi and other electron-powered vehicles
to make enough noise so you can hear it before it runs you over. Having
had close encounters of the second kind more than once I can relate.

Winston Churchill:
“Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or
petty,
never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the
enemy.”
