Don’t Blame The Gadget, Blame The Driver

Driving can be a very risky business and the roads get no more dangerous than they do during rush-hour in the mornings and evenings, when half the working population makes their way between their homes and their place of work. You sometimes think drivers switch off their brains when they turn on the engine.

Distractions are the most frequently listed cause of accidents after alcohol consumption and speed. Gadgets, electronic and communication devices are responsible for most of the accident-causing distractions. Cell phones are a big problem themselves and the US insurance body, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, has found that 1 in 4 automobile accidents have been caused by a person talking on a cell phone.

Anybody will know that talking on a cell phone in a car is a perilous exercise because it distracts the driver and, if the driver is not using a hands-free kit, leaves the driver with only one hand to operate the car. It is so much of a risk that it is illegal to use hand-held cell phones while driving in 53 countries and two states in the US.

Poor visibility and driver blind spots often create problems while people are out on the road. The evolution process left humans with forward facing eyes –great for hunting but not so good for keeping an eye on our surroundings. As a result backing up and overtaking are often fraught with peril as the driver is required not only to know what is in front of them, but also behind and beside them as well. With this camera mounted on the car boot (or trunk depending on which country you’re in) you will always be able to see what is behind you. The 120 degrees of vision the camera provides will prevent you from using bad visibility as an excuse ever again.

Anti Sleep Driving Alarm


Sleepy? Driving late at night? While it is always a good idea to pull over and rest, sometimes that is not really an option. However, this device will make sure you are always awake and alert when you’re behind the wheel. Whenever you start to drop off, or whenever your head starts to tilt on a 45 degree angle an alarm will sound, waking you from your slumber. While that would be a jarring experience, it would be much more pleasant than the sound of metal crunching into metal.

Just as a bad workman shouldn’t blame his tools, we shouldn’t really blame gadgets for making driving an unsafe experience. After all, as we can see some have actually been designed to make us safer and better drivers. Happy motoring.
