    Why do ATMs at drive through Banks, have Braille pads ?
    Is it required by law to have them for the convenience of blind drivers?

    I will guess the drive through key pads are identical to the indoor pads. I will assume it's cheaper to make all pads the same rather than a second batch for drive through machines.

    I'm sure some brilliant lawmaker required the headphones & braille stickers... the same one that required that the best parking spots be reserved for able-bodied people with blue hanging plaques in their cars.

    if the opposite of pro is con, what is the opposite of progress?
    if the opposite of pro is con, and progress is congress, why do so many of our ex-pros become ex-cons?
    why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?
