It is common to find that a loading, delivery or parking bay area or the access to it, is far from ideal for parking a large truck.
Often it is only possible to reverse into a loading bay "on the blind side" due to the vehicle access provided.
TurnSafe™ eliminates this blind side problem completely. No longer is the driver blind. The view of the "blind side" is kept in the main mirror at all times automatically whilst reversing.

Driving a large Articulated Heavy Goods Vehicle through towns and cities is not easy at the best of times.
Congestion, road layout and other road furniture present various hazards. On top of this the driver has to deal with the actions of other road users towards their vehicle.
This can result in people trying to undertake the vehicle, particulalry at junctions. Cyclists and Motorcyclists are most vulnerable in these situations.
TurnSafe™ allows the driver to see a view into the blind zone at all times. During the turn the driver will now be able to see if someone or something has travelled into the path of the vehicle before contact is made.

Roundabouts are another area where TurnSafe™ is particularly effective.
On the approach to a roundabout the driver often has to straddle two lanes or "steal" part of the lane next the vehicle to negotiate the roundabout
Other road users frequently mistake this behaviour and will try to undertake the vehicle leading to an accident
Again, TurnSafe™ is able to provide a constant and steady view alongside the vehicle to the driver no matter what angle of articulation is occuring. Thus the driver is always able see if something or someone has travelled into the blind zone before contact is made. |
