Get a load of a look forward to the rear view mirrors
Something new has invaded the driving scene. It is the patented vehicle mirror that offers 260 degree peripheral views or vision minus any head movement. This latest feature has made driving safer, less stressful, and much easier for people who struggle with visual difficulties and other disabilities. This includes the guy who created the article: Brad Sawyer. Read on to keep looking forward to your rearview mirrors.
Does anyone look forward to the rear view mirrors?
Sawyer is a Vietnam veteran who is now completely disabled. He came over with the mirror to help him drive. You have a disease called ankylosing spondylitis (AS) that has fused your neck, rib cage, and spine. This makes it impossible to turn your head. Thanks to the safety mirror, it is now possible to look straight ahead and work with the right and left hinges to see in either direction. As a result, you can clearly see when it is okay to turn right or left.
His invention makes it easy to check for approaching vehicles. Sawyer says that being able to tilt the visors correctly has made it unnecessary to ask people around him if cars are approaching.
MultiFlex Adjust-A-View Safety Mirror (US Patent No. 6926416) is the official name of the automotive device. He has helped people with various disabilities. Sawyer goes on to tell about a 33-year-old mother of two who has been in possession of a driver’s license for more than 16 years. The woman leads others and herself, as well as her children, safely and securely even when retinoblastoma, a type of cancer, removed one of her eyes when she was just two years old.
He says you don’t have to turn your head that far these days when looking for blind spots. The woman adds that the tool improves peripheral vision on both sides, but especially on the left. Four-corner intersections are no longer a safety concern for her, she says.
Sawyer goes on to say that people with arthritis and people tortured by back pain, vision problems and a stiff neck now enjoy the security of being able to easily see what was once hidden in the form of blind spots. The invention offers tool-free attachment to the sun visor on the driver’s side, allowing distortion-free image reflections in the blind spots on the right and left side in conjunction with the rear seat compartment of the car.
The MultiFlex Adjust-A-View Safety Mirror measures 33/4 inches high and 123/4 inches wide. It has left and right mirrors that are 51/2 inches wide and three inches high. The safety mirror is attached to a standard driver’s side window visor. To adjust the mirrors individually, the driver uses the hinges, which helps to see nearby traffic on the right and left side. The product is useful for those who have difficulty seeing objects in the rear view mirror.
