Electric or hybrid cars are more likely to hit pedestrians than diesel or gasoline powered cars, a new study has found.
The research, published in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, found that while the more environmentally friendly cars are good for the planet, they pose more of a safety hazard. This is largely because they are quieter. They pose a danger in urban areas, particularly where there is more background noise. This means that sometimes, pedestrians may not notice they are there.
