A new, patented vehicle mirror that provides 260-degree peripheral vision without head movement is making driving simpler, safer and less stressful for people with a range of vision and other impairments-which includes 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 operate the left and appropriate hinges to look in either path, clearly seeing when it is secure to turn left or appropriate.

Easily See If Automobiles Are Coming

"When I've angled the visor correctly, I no longer have to ask other folks if automobiles are coming," Sawyer says.

His situation is just 1 of a lot of disabilities that the MultiFlex Adjust-A-View Safety Mirror helps people 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 individuals, such as her kids, safely and securely even although she lost an eye to retinoblastoma, a kind of eye cancer, when she was only 18 months old.

"I no longer have to turn my head as far to verify blind spots," she says. "This tool increases peripheral vision on both sides, the left particularly. Hazardous, 4-corner intersections are no longer a security concern for me."

No Much more Blind Spots

Drivers impacted by arthritis and those who suffer from back discomfort, stiff neck or impaired vision all take pleasure in the added security that comes from getting in a position to see simply what had as soon as remained hidden in classic blind spots, Sawyer says. The MultiFlex Adjust-A-View Security Mirror (U.S. Patent No. 6926416) provides for tool-cost-free attachment to the driver-side sun visor for distortion-totally free image reflection in left-side and proper-side blind spots, as well as a vehicle's rear seating compartment.

Measuring 123/four inches wide by 33/4 inches high, and with left and appropriate mirrors each measuring 51/two inches wide by 3 inches high, the safety mirror attaches to a conventional driver-side window visor. The driver performs hinges to adjust every single mirror as required and, in that way, views proximate left- and appropriate-side targeted traffic. thumbnail
