Prevent Disaster in Your Driveway

 

   

Put these on. Select reverse. Cross fingers.

  

Every car has a blind spot below the rear window line. Low objects behind the car become invisible.

 
A 2-year old child won’t be seen unless they're over 6 metres away from most cars – even small cars.
 
No doubt you’ve seen news reports after yet another tragedy outside a family’s home. It happens on average once a week in Australia, yet it’s entirely preventable.

 
Recently there was a 2GB report on reversing safety featuring an interview with Phil Bettman of The Car Kit Company that includes some great advice on protecting your children - click here to listen to the report.
 

The main causes of accidental death at home for children under 5

 
The family pool is the number one cause of accidental death for children at home. What's surprising is this:
 
A reversing car is the #2 cause.
 
You wouldn’t have a pool without a safety fence.  So why take a chance by reversing blind?
 

 

How to prevent driveway disaster  

 

 There is no substitute for close adult supervision of children near vehicles.

Also, it's important to make sure that both adults and children are aware of the risks. However, kids are quick and can be behind your car within seconds. That's when a reversing camera can help. 

 

An essential safety device – soon to be required by law in the USA  

 

In the USA, there are 18,000 reversing accidents every year, and nearly 300 fatalities. That’s why the US Department of Transport is considering making reversing cameras mandatory for all new vehicles by 2014.

 

 

What is a Reversing Camera?

It’s a simple system that consists of two components:

 

A discrete miniature camera installed at the rear of your vehicle	A replacement rear-view mirror with a built-in 4.3" LCD screen

Who needs a Reversing Camera?  

 

Quite simply, everyone should have one. That’s why the US Department of Transport
is considering making them mandatory in all new vehicles.

However, you might want to treat it as urgent if you:

 - Are a parent of young children - the highest risk group are those between 1 and 5.
 - Have friends or family with young children
 - Spend time around areas where young children are present (schools, shopping centres etc)

 

Are they just for 4WD owners?

 

No. even small sedans have serious rear visibility issues. Some of Australia's most popular cars have blind zones of 15 metres!

 

The NRMA Reversing Visibility Index showed that of the 29 vehicles with zero star ratings, 25 of them were sedans, hatches or coupes.

 

However, 4WDs and other large vehicles such as utes and commercial vehicles are responsible for a higher rate of accidents. 

Is it easy to install one in my car?

 

Yes – we’ll do it for you! We’ll come to your home or office and will install it in less than an hour. The installation is totally professional and won’t damage your car at all.

In fact, it will add to your car’s resale value to have a reversing camera on board (but it can also be removed and re-installed in a new car if you choose).
