A Wierd Way To “LOOK THROUGH A TRUCK”!
Two mirrors that face each other with the forward one pointed on an angle up the road. Allows the driver or an 18 wheeler to see around the truck in front of him.

(PRWEB) June 13, 2004 – NEW MIRROR GIVES TRUCKERS " A LOOK AHEAD"!

How impossible does this sound? You are in a convoy, on a two lane highway, the fourth driver behind a long line of 18 wheelers. Traffic slows down, and…you can see what is causing the problem, just the same as the first driver! How is this possible? The “Forward View Mirror”, is the amazing product that makes this possible. Designed for professional drivers who want to increase road safety, and reduce driving stress and anxiety, caused by a limited field of view while driving behind other trucks.

The “Forward View Mirror” features two mirrors that face each other with the forward looking one pointed on an angle up the road. A driver can easily see traffic problems developing ahead, without having to veer in and out of the driving lane, This will allow a driver to “see” around the truck in front, and four to six trailer lengths up the road ahead. No special tools required, and takes only 15 minutes to install.

The “Forward View Mirror” is suitable for any truck over five ton equipped with a west coast mirror, and is available for $225.00 which includes shipping and handling from Blair Enterprises of Florida 866-593-8177, and can also be ordered from www.BlairEnterprises.net.

Wierd huh?

This is highly amusing :laughing:
In a country where the mirrors are so small, flat and out dated they come up with a mirror so you can see where you are going :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I can just imagine the view out of that thing when it gets covered by junebugs…

So, instead of spending 225 bucks, why not just drift a couple feet left and look?? Or stick your friggin head out the window?

Now, maybe a periscope could work…

June bugs :question: :question: :question: :question: Just imagine being dazzled when some guy using one is comming your way at night. :question:
Lightning bugs are the worst at night, little splashes of 'liquid light sraying across the windscreen (whoops :exclamation: Sorry Aex, windshield) :laughing: :laughing:
