As incidents of road accidents continue to climb, yearly, auto-makers have been scrambling to meet safety standards, that seem to get harder, and more expensive, to meet each year. Despite these efforts, on the part of the government, and car makers, accidents continue to go up.

This simply proves that we aren’t doing enough for our automobile safety. With car insurance premiums rising each year, not to mention the death toll, it’s clear we aren’t doing enough. One safety enhancing addition, not usually bundled with cars is an aid to reversing safely, something that has been tricky for drivers, since cars were invented.

Backup cameras on vehicles aren’t, exactly, new but they used to be pretty hard to get(and even harder to have installed). These days, however, these safety devices are as cheap as ever and an important boost to your safety, and peace of mind, while driving.

Even now, you might be thinking, isn’t my rear-view mirror enough? Is it really? There are so many ways for accidents to happen, when relying on them for safety.

1) They can move, meaning that even a strong wind can push it out of its proper position. Once this happens, either the seconds required to fix the mirror, or the consequences of not doing so, can be fatal or highly costly. If you think the cost is trivial because you have insurance, think again. Accidents push your premiums up.

2) Not all drivers can adjust, from the view of the road, to the view of the mirror, quickly enough, on the fly. It’s trickier than it seems to glance in a mirror AND react to what you see before its too late. Let any driver who has ever backed into a light post tell you, it jumped out at them. Most people agree that using a proper screen to see behind you simplifies reversing greatly.

3) Rear view mirrors have an annoying habit of breaking off. It happens in so many irksome ways, passing another car and clipping off each others mirrors, vandals, accidental damage from someone walking by, distractedly etc. When that happens, what do you do? Resign yourself to reversing blindly and hoping for the best. Usually, you wouldn’t have much of a choice until you replaced the mirrors(which can take a longer time that you might think…trust me That’s where a well placed backup camera would come in very handy.

Now that I’ve made my point about the inadequacy of mirrors alone, I’ll go into some of the pros of using backup cameras. As I mentioned before, the screen is easier to use than a mirror. Also, you can adjust the camera so that you have the perfect view of behind you, that you need to avoid mistakes.

Finally, you can see more of behind the vehicle, enabling you to judge better and prevent serious damage to your car (and an unfortunate fire hydrant).

Adam Florence loves cars and vans and is very careful about his safety and those around. He has installed backup cameras and rear view cameras on his vans.

What head support pillow would you recommend for flat head baby?

My baby is 4 months old and he has a very flat head developed from sleeping on the back too much. Since sleeping on the back is the recommended position to avoid SIDS, I am not sure it is good to let him sleep on the sides. Anyone knows would a head support pillow helped to correct the flat head? If yes, any particular pillow you can recommend? Thanks!

The pillow I recommend is MORE TUMMY TIME. No pillow, or sleep positioner is safe. At 4 months you may want to try a Bumbo seat for when he’s awake too.

how do they measure Peep Hole view angle?

I was looking for a peep hole, and the store guy pointed me to “wide angle vieweres.” They say that there are three kinds, one with a 160 degree fied of view, one with a 180 degree field of view, and one with a 200 degree field of view, but all of the packages showed a guy looking through a peephole, with about a 90 degree angle field of view labeled differently according to the package.

200 degrees? Doesn’t that mean you could see backwards a little bit? Do I just not understand how these are being measured?
Wow bev, you don’t get it at all… there are three different kinds of peep holes, which claim to have different fields of vision. I want to know what the difference between the three kinds is before I buy one. Stores tend to frown on taking merchandise out of the box, and installing it before you pay for it.

actually it shows the sides of the door, this peep hole was designed for those little ol’ ladies that always seem to have bushes on the sides of the door or home, you don’t see behind you obviously, but you do see a little more than 180 which is half a circle. if your door was glass than you would definately see yourself but then again why would you need a peep hole with a glass door….lol
