Bedford Driving Lessons

New radar technology will help eliminate the problem driver’s blind spot for motorists driving a new S-Max or Galaxy. Ford has introduced the new Blind Spot Information System which informs the driver when another vehicle enters it blind spot zone on either side of the car. An LED warning light illuminates in the corresponding wing mirror to indicate the vehicle’s presence-be it a motorbike right up to something bigger like a truck. “In busy traffic, it’s very easy to lose sight of vehicles when they move into your blind spot,” said Dr Torsten Wey, Ford’s driver assistance technologies supervisor. “With its distinctive warning light, this system helps drivers to think twice before switching lanes or changing direction without checking their blind spot, hopefully preventing a collision or a near miss.” More
