The daft thing is that the rule makers now want electric cars to make
a noise...

...in order to protect pedestrians.

You have made it clear that you don't care about pedestrians, so do
not so readily see the common sense in taking steps to protect them/us
from a silent approach from an unseen direction.

Perhaps all pedestrians should learn the Green Cross Code before
attempting to cross a road.

That won't do us any good when approached from behind by a cyclist (or
an electric car, as unlikely as that is) when walking along a footway,
will it?

Do you never look before you cross a road whether there is no noise?
I know that I do it automatically.
Many bicycles are virtually silent. There's no excuse to not check
first, if one has any sense.

Whoosh...
