TEST SUMMARY

If you've noticed an error in this article please click here to report it so we can fix it.
If operators of older generation vehicles (pre-2006) want to meet the new blindsoot regulations, they need to follow Firmint approach and deal with the matter promptly. Leaving it to the last minute is not a good idea. Contact your service provider now and start the conversation. Meanwhile, as our practical test shows, the latest mirror directive and concurrent retrofit regs do provide drivers with enhanced vision on the nearside. However, as more and more mirrors are fitted to commercial vehicles, we run the risk of information overload as the demand on the driver to not only monitor them, but also react to what they see, grows too. CCTV coupled with sideways radar could well be the answer. In other words, leaving the driver to monitor the road ahead and only alert him when something moves into the blindspot zone, But before legislators and manufacturers embrace such hi-tech solutions, operators will need convincing that they are reliable and durable.
