US Study Shows Reversing Camera Helps Reduce Driveway Accidents by 90%



Did you know that a reversing camera can help reduce driveway accidents by up to 90%? Yup, you heard it right. A latest research conducted by a respected American insurance and auto safety institute has found that cameras are the most effective technology when it comes to preventing collisions when a driver is reversing. As such, if you want to provide added safety for your vehicle, as well as for your family, particularly your small children, investing in this piece of equipment is something you should consider.

Just recently, the US-based Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, or IIHS, conducted a series of tests involving 111 volunteer drivers and a parking lot that had a pole market with different coloured bands to indicate varying heights of children. With the poles located as far away as nine metres, they could not be easily seen by the drivers using glances and mirrors alone. When the drivers started using reverse camera, the institute's chief research officer, David Zuby, said it significantly helped in reducing the rate of collision.

This has led the researchers to conclude that a reversing camera is key in reducing blind spots in vehicles that lead to road accidents and driveway incidents by up to 90%. "Right now cameras appear to be the most promising technology for addressing this particularly tragic type of crash, which frequently claims the lives of young children in the driveways of their own homes," Zuby said in a statement.

As you may know, having a small child in your house can make reversing your vehicle out of the driveway more complicated and dangerous. It could be even more difficult if you have tall vehicles like 4WDs and SUVs because you cannot easily determine if one of your children might be behind your car. As such, to avoid any untoward situation, it is best that you purchase a reverse camera.

With this timely US research underscoring the importance of installing a reversing camera in your vehicle, you shouldn't think twice about investing your money in such a device. Not only can it help ensure the safety of your children (and yours, as well), it can also prevent you from incurring unnecessary car repair expenses.

Today, there are many rear view camera systems you can choose from. There are designed for industrial vehicles, trucks, and buses, as well as those for ordinary sedans. There are also those built for campers and caravans, like the caravan 2 reverse camera system. But no matter which type of vehicle you own, be sure to equip it with a good reversing camera to make the process of reversing your car out of your driveway a much safer experience.
