Safety From The Comfort Of Your License Plate
This autmotive gadget is a life saver, literally. Every morning, when I back out of the garage for work, I take my kids’ lives in my hands. Especially during school season, when they are waiting so patiently for the bus in front of our house. Some mornings I oversleep and tend to tear out of the driveway, half asleep depending on if I got my cup of joe or not. To make matters worse, I drive a huge gas guzzling SUV, so it is really difficult at times to keep an eye on the kids, and ensure they aren’t behind me on the way out. That is where this wireless Automotive Video Parking Sensor comes into play. I know, it is made for safe parking, which is also a handy feature as I have to park in a large parking garage downtown every morning. My rear bumper would love me if I bought one of these. But I find the safety of not barreling over someone as I back up a little more valueable. And it is simple to set up. The sensor/camera is made to fit as a license plate bracket. A video screen receiver pops onto your dashboard similar to the after market GPS devices. That’s it! No wires to run through the car, and no hefty installation fees to pay. When you back up, as you get within three feet of an object the sensors will beep, and will get faster and faster as you get closer, letting you know you are about to smack into something. And the video screen will give you a a great, clear view of what’s behind you to catch those fast moving children or household pets. Keep everyone safe, your car from being damaged, and yourself off the 6 o’clock news. I mean, who wants to be the neighborhood wacko who reported finding his pal Fido under the rear of the vehicle? Or even worse, their own child! And it is so cheap compared to those factory installed models, you will want to get one for every car you have in the driveway. The only thing missing is the automobile insurance discount, which you may want to check on with your insurance agent.
