Yes I know and have read the legal ruling that underlines this aspect. However, that has not stopped drivers ignoring their responsibility.

I get what you're saying though. The silence of an EV, unless the driver has it in tyre shredding mode, is a concern. Thought our former chums in the EU were going to bring in an audio warning for speeds lower that a certain threshold?

Yes and I think the auto industry does need to look into this seriously and come up with a solution or even a variety of them.
