I am quite concerned about how quiet electric vehicles are - I love driving them, but as a parent of small children I worry. I don't so much worry about my own kids as they know that cars can be near-silent, but at the moment, the vast majority of children don't realise and they are still being taught to "stop, look and listen". I have emailed the above address to ask that information for schools is updated in light of the growth in the ev market. I suggested it should be stop, look, listen and LOOK AGAIN. (i.e. adding a "lifesaver look" similar to when overtaking).
I got the email address from this website where I couldn't immediately see any reference to evs:
http://think.direct.gov.uk/education/early-years-and-primary/
I also filled in a "contact us" form at www.rospa.com
Just thought some of you might want to do the same. I'd rather they proactively updated their information for schools before there are any accidents and the ev is blamed...
Thanks
