In the dark, it’s easy to miss a car that’s parked behind you when you’re pulling out onto the road. In fact, it’s easy to miss parked cars in general if there isn’t good lighting – parked cars don’t have headlights, and you don’t normally have strong lights behind your vehicle. You can do a head check and glance in the rear view mirror, but in the dark, you might not make out the car behind you, or you might misjudge the distance and back into it. Fortunately there’s a way to avoid an unfortunate incident like that.

The way? Get a reversing camera kit. Safety Dave’s rear vision cameras come with built-in night vision, and the prominent monitor will make it clear when there’s a car or other obstacle behind you. That way, even at night on a poorly lit road, you can be fully aware of your surroundings and prevent accidents. A reverse camera helps you keep safe after the sun sets or in other low-light conditions like fog, snow, rain or glare. The camera gives you the best technological advantage to detect obstacles and drive accordingly, taking the stress and frustration out of reversing and parallel parking. The upshot is a relaxed, reliable driving experience where parking and reversing are low-risk procedures even in adverse conditions. With a camera instead of a mirror, everything becomes clearer. And when you have a clearer view, driving is a lot safer.
