What I could never figure is why they have Braille in the drive up ATM machines?

We’ll, it’s getting interesting for sure. Driving to Dr’s appointment last Wed a car driving toward me came over the centerline with their left tires. Had to take evasive action. On the way home from the appointment while waiting in line at a traffic signal I hear squealing tires (unusual now days with anti locks), then the crunching sound of a crash. Before my eyes could move to the mirror I’m slammed from the rear. 1st guy slams the lady behind me into me. Little damage (truck) but aching ever since. Guess it’s time to sell the motorcycle.

Exactly!

Before retiring, my wife spent 40 years in banking, her last 20 as an SVP market manager responsible for about 50-60 branches. I use to kid her about the braille on drive up ATM's, but it was actually there because of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It's required under ADA, presumably because someone could still walk up to a drive up, and use it.
