Mirror® Technology  |
|
Signal® mirrors use
high intensity lights to change ordinary exterior rearview mirrors into
safety
features that command attention. When a turn signal is activated, a flashing
chevron appears in the
corresponding side mirror to alert drivers in the "blind spots"
around and behind your vehicle.
The mirrors operate as regular rearview mirrors whether the turn signals
are activated or not.

Blind Spot Coverage
|
Improved Reaction Time
|
|
Drivers
in the colored "blind spots" are alerted of the
intentions of a vehicle equipped with Signal® mirrors. |
Signal®
mirrors illuminate faster than
conventional tail lamps. |

NHTSA reports in the USA alone that there is a lane change/merging traffic accident EVERY 88 seconds. 2005 statistics show that every 8.5 minutes one of these results in an injury or fatality. Signal® mirrors
are positioned at the eye level of adjacent drivers making them more
noticeable than conventional tail lights. With the increased popularity
of taller vehicles, i.e. SUV's, trucks and mini-vans, a turn signal
from the tail lamp may be "hidden" by these larger vehicles.
The high intensity light from the Signal® mirror may
be the only visible indicator to drivers two or three cars back. |
|
Signal® mirrors
use LED lamps which illuminate 1/5 of a second faster than conventional
incandescent tail lights. This provides drivers in the "blind
spot" of the Signal® mirror equipped vehicle an
additional 17 feet of reaction distance when traveling at 65 m.p.h.
Thus, unlike other accessories that soften an accident, Signal®
mirrors actually may help prevent one. |

High Visibility

Driver Awareness
|
|
The
Signal® mirror is visible from
several car lengths back. |
This

sees only a subtle tell-tale display. |

|
Signal® mirrors use high-intensity
LED lamps to turn ordinary exterior rearview mirrors into safety
features that command attention. When a turn signal is activated,
a flashing chevron appears in the corresponding side mirror to alert
drivers in the "blind spot" of your intentions.
When emergency hazard flashers are used, both mirrors
flash warning signals. The mirrors function as conventional rearview
mirrors whether the signals or hazards are activated or not.
|
|
While surrounding drivers see a bright, attention-getting
display, the driver of the vehicle equipped with Signal®
mirrors sees only a subtle tell-tale display - a reminder the mirror
is activated.
