Modern roads become more congested and regulated every day so driver
awareness has never been more important. Even the most conscientious
motorist can have occasional lapses in concentration which could easily
result in an accident or a fine and licence endorsements. Collisions,
penalty fines or points can all result in increased car insurance premiums
to say nothing of the implications for personal safety.
Your GPSmirror is designed and sold as a road safety enhancement tool to
protect you and your family, as well as your livelihood and your licence.
Advance awareness of high risk accident zones can greatly enhance road
safety. Your GPSmirror calculates where you are every second you’re on
the road and reminds you whenever you are approaching these known
hazard zones, so you can plan ahead. It provides audio and visual alerts,
along with voice announcements, for all locations that are stored in its
on-board Trinity database, such as an accident blackspots or Safety
Cameras - many authorities now place speed or red light camera systems
at dangerous intersections or stretches of road where there has been a
history of road accidents. Where they are known, advisory speed limits for
the hazard location are also announced.
The wide angle mirror housing helps eliminate rear blindspots and lets you
to keep watch on back seat passengers with ease. Its unique anti-glare tint
eliminates glare at the same time as providing better night vision. There
is a highly accurate GPS speedometer and a useful overspeed alert feature
which you can use to remind you to slow down, if you inadvertently find
yourself driving too quickly.
Whether or not you agree with camera enforcement, speed and red light
camera systems are here to stay. Their use is growing rapidly around the
world. The GPSmirror uses the Trinity™ GPS global database to warn you
of known fixed camera locations in many different countries. Local drivers
know where the danger spots are in their area. Using a GPSmirror means
you can now be as informed and aware as a local driver.
