  1. From the preamble to the Road Traffic Act, 1988
    <url:http://www.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts1988/Ukpga_19880052_en_1.htm>

    "Braille copies of this Act can also be purchased at the same price as
    the print edition by contacting TSO Customer Services"

    That explains a lot, doesn't it?

    It's for the same reason that drive-through cash machines have Braille
    on the keyboard (i.e. that it's easier to make them all that way).

    (There's a Braille edition of Playboy too, for people who really do get
    it to read the articles not look at the photos.)

    Ah but have you noticed that some ATM's have Braille instructions, and then a touchscreen to enter details (main culprit here is Citi Bank):-) (Noticed by partially sighted SWMBO)
