[blindlaw] Pimp My Cane

[Aziza Cano]

Yes it is. The truck doesn't beep all the time, and a backing up truck 
unnoticed can be hazardous. A blind person walking down the block, entering 
a building or anything else is not hazardous, unless someone trips over 
them, in which case, the cane user either needs more training, or the 
sighted person need to watch where he's going.
