Every year there are over 375,000 lane-change and merging traffic accidents. Over 700 of these accidents result in fatalities. SignalŪ mirrors are positioned at the eye level of adjacent drivers making them more noticeable than conventional tail lights. With the increased popularity of taller vehicles, i.e. SUV's, trucks and mini-vans, a turn signal from the tail lamp may be "hidden" by these larger vehicles. The high intensity light from the SignalŪ mirror may be the only visible indicator to drivers two or three cars back.

SignalŪ mirrors use LED lamps which illuminate 1/5 of a second faster than conventional incandescent tail lights. This provides drivers in the "blind spot" of the SignalŪ mirror equipped vehicle an additional 17 feet of reaction distance when traveling at 65 m.p.h. Thus, unlike other accessories that soften an accident, SignalŪ mirrors actually may help prevent one. |
