As a driver, parking is a task that will be part of everyday life and can sometimes become quite a stressful and anxious situation to be in especially when faced with obstructions and outside distraction. Time to think about a great new bit of kit called ‘The Reversing Camera’, it’s going to take the stress out of manoeuvring your vehicle backwards and is widely available for most models and makes
Here are some benefits of owning a reverse camera.
Don’t be blinded
Large vehicles like lorries, vans, trucks, SUVs and some car models face the issue with having more than a few blind spots to worry about. With the addition of a reverse camera, you give yourself an extra pair of eyes to focus on those problem zones.
This can help prevent accidents, aid with trick/tight spots and give a better indication when it is safe to leave the vehicle. Particular useful if you’re a parent who’s got kids blocking your view when you try and park.
Without a scratch
With the help of a wide-angle lens, you get broader views of the surrounding area allowing you to tackle tighter parking situations, some you may have avoided altogether in the past. This also gives you better viewing of people and potential hazards around your vehicle and in the long run will mean avoiding the chances of bumping, scratching or damaging the vehicle.
Stay in the loop
According to a study, all new cars in 2019 will have reverse cameras as a mandatory option and if you are not in the position to get a new one you, unfortunately, run the risk of being left behind.
If you adopt the latest tech while it's young you can avoid upgrading your car for now and it won’t make as much of a dent in your wallet.
Don’t get caught out by heavy rain
If you live in the UK then you’ll be quite aware of the chance of it raining heavily, sometimes seemingly out of nowhere. This type of downfall can make it difficult when trying to view what is outside your windows.
Some makes of reversing cameras are made to be water and debris proof, which will give you a clear view of your surroundings when you can’t rely on your own eyes.
