I was doing a contracting project years ago for the Virginia DMV. They took
me down to see the customer interaction. Chaos was reining because a guy was
getting his photo taken and wanted his guide dog to be in the photo with
him. We all of a sudden went "seeing eye dog in a driver's license photo ...
what's wrong with this picture?" It turned out the Va. DMV also issued
non-driver ID cards, and that was what this guy was in for.

At the new AT&T (formerly Pac Bell and then SBC) Ball Park in SF, the
umpires' dressing rooms have Braille signs, a source of some amusement. Have
to comply with ADA, you know, whether or not it makes any sense.

I suspect the reason for the audio driver's license manual is some state
regulation that says *all* state publications must be accessible to the
visually impaired.

ATMs have cents keys because people make deposits of any amount, as well as
cash withdrawals.
