Who thought it was a good idea to put braille on the drive up atms?
While I don't know if the person in question was blind or not, I *have* seen someone use a >drive-up ATM from the back seat of a car.

Hi.. I might have missed the post, but braille on drive through has zero to do with a design mistake - it's practicality. The ATM manufacturer doesn't put out a "drive-through" and "walk-up" model - it puts out one, and then it's up to whomever to mount it. Simpler just to put braille on the kit and ship, and not worry about it. Mike

But the bank, who chooses to mount the Braille-enabled machine as drive through, orders the Braille added, do they not? (As to whether or not this is a good idea, I'm keeping away from.)
Actually, not what I've heard. I have a contact at a large east coast bank who told me they were charged extra for Braille per ATM. I had assumed for years it was a case of build them all one way only to save cost. But in fact this is not the case. At least for the type they use. On Fri, 19 Sep 2003, Mike Donahue wrote:
