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 :roll:

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 :lol:

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

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.
