What is a dead zone?

Rear-view mirrors only show in general what is going on behind and on the sides of the car. The driver still does not receive complete information about the situation around. Let's take quite a familiar situation. The driver behind decides to overtake you. You perfectly see him in the rearview mirror until he begins to rebuild. The distance at which the car falls out of your zone of visibility and is called a “dead zone.”

One of the most frequent causes of accidents is finding a car in the dead zone. Ahead, the driving driver does not see the rear car, which overtakes him and begins to rebuild itself. It is good if you have time to react and quickly correct the situation, but this is not always possible.

Of course, it is impossible to refuse such a restructuring, but it turns out that in each such situation the driver finds himself at risk. But you can minimize it: before you start rebuilding, look around-if there is no danger, you can make a maneuver.

Another “dead zone” is immediately behind the car when the driver begins to move in reverse. For example, you looked around, but did not notice any danger. But during the time you turned away, inserted the ignition key, a small child may appear on the horizon and is in a “dead zone” and the driver will not see it anymore.

How to control the "dead zones"?

Today, the auto accessories market offers several ways to avoid accidents in dead zones.

Parktronic with the function of monitoring "dead/blind" zones. For example, ParkMaster models of the company help to prevent dangerous situations during the rebuilding of cars, especially for large cities where traffic is very active.

You will learn about the possible danger with the help of an audible alert. Devices are universal and can be installed on any model of car. 4 sensors are equipped with an intelligent data processing algorithm and can distinguish real danger from, for example, road barriers.

Circular view systems are another way to control dead zones. For example, multi-tasking devices from Gazer. They perform the function of a circular review, DVR, security video surveillance. Cameras are compatible with any model of car. Everything that happens in dead zones, you see on the screen in real time.

Dead zones are not so dangerous if you additionally use the system of review and parking sensors. You can buy parking sensors in Kharkov, Odessa, Kiev with delivery in Ukraine on the site 130.com.ua.
