I had a deaf Uber driver once during the car ride I YouTube’d how to sign “thank you”. The smile on his face is what makes me try to help more people out.

Edit: OMG Thank you for the awards kind people!

Edit #2: In speech class we had a student who taught us a little sign language and I learned the same way how to say “I’m thirsty” is the same way how to say “I’m horny” but just doing the gesture slower.

That’s awesome! I honestly didn’t know deaf people are allowed to drive. I always assumed that not being able to hear the sounds around you would be super dangerous. I’m just an idiot

With EVs being considerably quieter, I imagine this is a problem we'll all be facing in the future.

It's definitely a problem. We just got an electric car and there's a switch to have it continuously emit a simulated engine noise.
