You jest about this but Barclays do actually have a 'drive thru' cashpoint somewhere down south. The best bit when it was being implemented was that it was pointed out that the keypad, cash slot etc didn't have teh ususal braille markings on them. When one of the senior managers demanded to know why it was pointed out that as it would be the driver using it they considered it a prerequistite that they could actually see.

Funnily enough, a friend of mine was holidaying in Florida a couple of years ago and noticed that their drive-thru cash machines had the braille on them.......Scary!!!!!!
