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.
