I would definitely say the project of making a dirt buggy driveable for a
blind person is dumb, no matter what organization was behind it. Cars are
lethal weapons and one careless mistake, whether it's by a sighted driver or
a blind person using one of these adapted buggies, could kill someone! Like
I said before, there are too many sighted drivers who shouldn't be driving
and the DMV is one big joke because they aren't strict enough.
The money spent on this project should have been spent on something which
really would have been of practical help to the blind. One idea is to make
funds available to help people buy the adaptive products they need for
independence and employment. Just think! If a product like the
BrailleSense + could be subsidized so the end user could pay, say, $500.00
instead of the $5,995.00 that would be helpful!

Boy, oh boy, I already am a blind driver, grin. I drove myself crazy with
this thread, ha ha ha he he he.
No, I don't want to hear any jokes about us blind folks and their dog
guides. And if rocks are gonna be thrown then let them be nerf rocks,
grin.
Those who don't know what nerf is or was, please write each other off
list.
I've done some dumb things in my life, so I guess I support another dumb
thing that NFB has done 'cause I'm in it man, hip, hip hooray! Get me
behind the wheel of one of them there doon buggies, grin.
Hmmm, wonder if ACB would have come up with the project Would have been
termed as "dumb?" Notice the quotes."
