Electric cars - silence is deadly?

surely it would make sense for pedestrians to not step out into ROADs without looking.. radical thinking but it might just work

I can't decide if looking left before stepping on the road then looking right is worse than not looking at all.

i carry a small mirror and use that to help me look to the left and right at the same time.

its a known fact that if you are shouting into your mobile phone or typing a text message when you step out into traffic motor vehicles cannot hit you
