Need them for the soccor mums at schools though in those tanks of family 4by4 runabouts. I owned a Prado a while back and it was impossible to see out the back and what was actually at bumper height, could have done with one of those or a extra mirror instead of 'bump touch' the trailer hitch

What is rally needed in cars is some kind of electric shock system integrated into the drivers seat and linked to the indicators, turn a corner without indicating and it sends 24 volts up your ring, that would start to educate them.

What's wrong with blind spot mirrors ? I put them on my car and bike and it does magic, no need to do headchecks anymore...

Just don't use it at night/late afternoon.

24 volts wouldnt generally pass through your body, unless the probes were placed in a very low resistance path, like up the duff or on your tongue

a few thousand volts, but very low current is better for getting somebodys attention, without killing them

fark mate.

head checks are important, doesn't matter how many mirrors u got, u'll still miss something. for a check that takes milliseconds, nothing can substitute it.
