It took me almost a minute to find where to put the #&*%@ card in! (The slot was ringed with glowing green lights. Even an idiot could have found it. In the dark. From Outer Space. But it had moved, and that threw me off...) And they added sound effects that were really loud. And they bordered the whole shebang in bright red.
It was freaky.

I would imagine MOST of the drivers who need braille would indeed be driving THROUGH the drive-up ATM....

Didn't we have a similar discussion about this topic recently? And wasn't braille on drive-up ATMs mandated by the ADA law? Because the law said all ATMs had to have it?PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:I go to the drive-up ATM near my house to get money. This drive-up ATM, thoughtfully has braille markings. I just wonder, how many people who need braille, will be driving through the drive-up ATM.
Or am I disunremembering?
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!
That'll be $10, please.

The answer to that is Braille enables passengers in taxicabs to do their own PIN entry and such, rather than rely on a cab driver or someone else to do it for them. It permits them the same privacy that a sighted person has when using an ATM. I know this because elwing was a taxi driver for quite a few years and had blind passengers who used the ATMs in just that way.PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:I go to the drive-up ATM near my house to get money.
