Turning toward Safer Driving with TurnSmart Mirror System
Drivers of older cars are a special breed. They’re often boastful of the hundreds of thousands of miles they’ve put on their car, and with good reason–it’s not easy to maintain an automobile for that long. Rather than face years of loan payments, many of these drivers are happy to roll down the window manually, eschewing fancy new features for dependability.
Still, once in a while Detroit comes out with a feature that’s just plain better. Take, for instance, lights on side mirrors that blink in tandem with the turn signal. That’s not a fancy feature– that’s just a good idea to improve safety on the road.
Now, a new gadget allows drivers of older cars to install a side mirror turn signal themselves. The TurnSmart Mirror System can be installed on any side mirror. Its wireless, self contained design allows for easy installation. Four solar-powered LED lights blink to alert drivers in your blind spot that you intend to turn.
