Fall is here and school has started. For college students, visiting home now mean that they will need to travel a longer distance than normal. Especially if your college students are studying out of state and are planning on visiting for a weekend or over their fall break, Rear View Safety has a few things they can do to help ensure a safe drive.

• Get your vehicle in for a checkup and basic maintenance before hitting the road. This will help reduce the chances of a breakdown on the freeway because of neglect the car may have received while your students were busy with classes.

• Double-check everything before you hit the road. If it has been a hectic week of classes, getting up early on Saturday morning may be less than ideal for remembering to check if you have enough gas, if the tire pressure is ok and your vehicle’s other vitals are ok.

• Finally, take advantage of technology. Installing devices such as a GPS and backup camera systems will help students more-easily navigate unfamiliar roads. Devices such as these will help student avoid accidents on unfamiliar roads in new cities by increasing their awareness of what is around them.

Fall is the perfect time to get out and enjoy nature! With cool and crisp breezes, beautifully colored leaves and (hopefully) clear and sunny skies, there is no better time to enjoy scenic areas of the country. One of our favorite fall travel locations at Rear View Safety is New England and there are few better ways to enjoy this historic part of the US than by RV!

A quick tour through a few states in New England during the fall can be an exciting escape from the workweek and offer tons of fun regional experiences, stunning sights and delicious food. Here are some sights and towns you won’t want to miss this fall!

• Historic and great shopping spots in Connecticut and the sand and water at Hammonasset Beach State Park.
• Seaside mansions in Newport, Rhode Island that will take you back to the glamorous gilded age.
• Excellent seafood and shops in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Avoiding the huge crowds that are in the city during the summer months is an added bonus!
• Smugglers Notch and Burton Island State Parks in Vermont are perfect for adventurous trips, hiking and breathtaking scenery!

Make sure to make your RV driving easier with RV backup camera systems so you can enjoy your trip more!

Next year in Delaware, commercial vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,001 or more will be required to have an audible backup signal. This law was signed recently by Delaware Governor Jack Markell to improve safety of commercial vehicles and to reduce accidents caused by them. Commercial vehicles will be exempt from needing an audible backup camera system if they have a backup camera installed.

Commercial backup camera systems from Rear View Safety are an easy and effective way to improve safety for any commercial vehicle by reducing, or even eliminating, blind spots and giving the vehicle operator more visibility. Combined with a warning feature for pedestrians and other vehicles such as an audible signal, the safety of those around large commercial vehicles will be greatly improved.

Avoiding accidents with backup camera systems will not only improve safety, but will also help protect your vehicles and trucks by avoiding accidents. Avoiding accidents, even minor ones, will help save money by reducing costs for repairs and delays in deliveries or other services.

Some of the unique features of this display unit are a 4.3-inch LCD screen that is large enough to display a video feed of your car’s surrounding as well as navigational, utility and entertainment options. This unit has an internal GPS antenna for its navigation system and a built-in high grade sensitive microphone for use with Bluetooth devices.

This unit also features a built-in BlackBox camera that records at 30 frames per second out the windshield at 1280×480 resolution.

To store this video, the system uses a micro SD card that is expandable to 32 GB, giving you space to record hours of footage.

While the average automobile is designed to be a means to an end from point A to point B, it usually becomes much more than that for car owners.

Now that the spring season is in full effect, people all over the world are engaging in their own form of spring cleaning. From tossing out old clothes to repainting the home, spring cleaning can be both therapeutic and extremely beneficial to your overall lifestyle. And while spring cleaning is often associated with tidying up the home and the workplace, it is important to make sure your car is never neglected in the process.

The car is often a second home for many, which can lead to it being filled with old fast-food bags, soda cans, and a host of other debris that can often build up without drivers realizing. It should definitely be a priority to rid your car of all of this unsightly clutter, but spring cleaning your vehicle should not stop there. In addition to making your car look as clean and attractive as possible, think of ways to prevent it from being damaged in the future. By utilizing vehicle backup cameras, you can ensure you make it safely out of your driveway and into the open road, preventing potential accidents in the process. Regular cleaning and car products can keep your vehicle looking great on the inside, but only a backup camera system can guarantee that it stays perfect on the outside.
