Blind people shouldn’t drive

UPDATE:Yes, yes, I know that ATMs have to be ADA-compliant, but still, this one is in a drive-up only bay, where signs clearly say that pedestrians should visit the ATM in the entrance lobby for safety’s sake. The only way a person with severe vision impairments could safely visit this one is if he or she is in the left-hand rear passenger seat. How often does that happen?

Clearly, not often, even though someone has added a somewhat helpful addendum to the notice about the audio assistance:

Only Connect: Holding together but going nowhere From our viewpoint the bishops talked in secret little groups in their ‘big top’ surrounded by a ring of police and only emerged once to go to London to tell society how wicked it was not to do more about the debt. Many of us had worked in or visited Africa and experienced the poverty. We do all we can to press for justice and support the aid agencies but we also know about violence against women in Africa and the persecution of gay people. They are the real victims and scapegoats in this whole process.
