Almost every day I head into the city on the same road. There is an especially stupid place where the road curves slightly left then right, and everyone starts changing lanes because the motorway separates into two roads.

While I am pretty thorough when changing lanes, I’m quite afraid that others aren’t and I’ve managed to swerve around people coming at me from their blind spots so far, but who knows when I won’t be looking? I usually deduce that someone is about to change (when they don’t use their signal lights) from their slight movement changes, but with cars all around me I can’t be looking at just one all the time. Countless times the “faulty party” can1t really be blamed because they are signaling, but they are just to near you for you to see.

In situations like this Street Scene Signal Mirrors would be of great help to both drivers because it would let everyone see, even those at close side range, that the driver is about to change lanes. While it may not be a huge neon sign, it may give ohers exactly the edge they need to brake and prevent a collision.

The mirrors manage to add some style too, featuring both back and forward facing signals. Stylish LEDs flash on the mirror itself, in an unobtrusive place on the side, while lights also flash facing forward to let people in front know all about your intentions too.

The first thing I read about the
Gentex Rearview Camera Display Mirror was the following: “Sometimes, extra safety can be hokey or cumbersome. Other times, it can be as cool as it is critical.” Oh what a sales pitch I thought. And yes, it is a sales pitch, but one that’s spot on. If there’s anything wrong with it, it’s that it doesn’t stress how cool and useful this tool is enough!

I have to confess, about a year after I first got my license, I backed into another car. It was parking where it shouldn’t have been and I didn’t see it there because frankly, I wasn’t looking in that direction. The rearview camera display mirror would’ve prevented this minor accident, but for others, it could prevent a much larger one. Imagine if kids were playing on the road. I don’t think they ever do play there, but all it takes is just one stupid circumstance, the car shouldn’t have been there either.

The great thing about the Gentex mirror is that it’s very unobtrusive. It doesn’t require you to install a separate LCD display, it doesn’t bother you with needless flashing, it’s just there for you, and others’ safety. You only see the LCD picture when you shift into reverse, conveniently at the side of the mirror, at other times you don’t see the image, but you still see that part of the mirror.

With this technology you will be much safer, and in the end you’ll wonder what life was like without it!
