Sir Alec Isigonis, in designing the Mini, launched in 1959, did not allow an aperture in the dash for a radio, saying they would distract drivers from the road
I've seen quite a few drivers recently, including ones driving LGVs, with earphones in both ears, and a guy the other day driving a car with full headphones on
This is shirley a safety issue, as they couldn't hear blues and twos from emergency vehicles, or shouts from pedestrians in a safety critical situation
Also, how do they gauge the revs of the engine when pulling away etc., not to mention any warning buzzers from the dash, or the brakes grinding if the pads are shot
It can't be all gauged from the instruments
Thoughts?
