A new, patented automobile mirror that offers 260-degree peripheral vision without having head movement is creating driving simpler, safer and much less stressful for men and women with a assortment of vision and other impairments-including its inventor.

Brad Sawyer, a 100 percent-disabled, Vietnam-era veteran, developed the mirror as a driving help for himself. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has fused Sawyer's spine, neck and rib cage, leaving him unable to turn his neck. With his security mirror, Sawyer says he can appear straight ahead and work the left and appropriate hinges to look in either path, clearly seeing when it is protected to turn left or appropriate.

Very easily See If Automobiles Are Coming

"When I've angled the visor appropriately, I no longer have to ask other individuals if cars are coming," Sawyer says.

His condition is just a single of numerous disabilities that the MultiFlex Adjust-A-View Security Mirror aids individuals overcome, Sawyer says. He describes a 33-year-old mother of two who has had her driver's license for 16 years. She drives herself and other folks, including her kids, safely and securely even even though she lost an eye to retinoblastoma, a form of eye cancer, when she was only 18 months old.

"I no longer have to turn my head as far to check blind spots," she says. "This tool increases peripheral vision on each sides, the left specially. Unsafe, four-corner intersections are no longer a security concern for me."

No Far more Blind Spots

Drivers impacted by arthritis and those who suffer from back pain, stiff neck or impaired vision all get pleasure from the added security that comes from being in a position to see effortlessly what had once remained hidden in classic blind spots, Sawyer says. The MultiFlex Adjust-A-View Safety Mirror (U.S. Patent No. 6926416) gives for tool-free attachment to the driver-side sun visor for distortion-free image reflection in left-side and right-side blind spots, as nicely as a vehicle's rear seating compartment.

Measuring 123/4 inches wide by 33/4 inches higher, and with left and correct mirrors each measuring 51/two inches wide by three inches high, the security mirror attaches to a conventional driver-side window visor. The driver performs hinges to adjust each and every mirror as necessary and, in that way, views proximate left- and appropriate-side targeted traffic. thumbnail
