Blind spots and whiplash compensation claims

When driving along a busy motorway or any country road for that matter, motorists can often miss an oncoming vehicle in their wing mirror because the vehicle is travelling within their blind spot. This reduction in visibly can prove to be extremely hazardous and can often cause road traffic accidents for which a driver may later make a whiplash compensation claim.

Nearly every motorist at some point has pulled out into an empty lane to suddenly find a car which hadn't been visible in their car mirror travelling in that lane. The danger of not spotting an approaching motor could easily result in a car accident and motorists may later have to contact personal injury solicitors to make no win, no fee car accident claims.

Blind spot mirror stickers
For a number of motorists who try to avoid having to make whiplash compensation claims for road accidents, the easiest and most affordable way to prevent blind spot accidents is by using stick-on mirrors. These mirrors can be bought from most reputable retailers such as Halfords [www.halfords.co.uk] and can limit the risk of a car crash as the convex mirror will show what vehicles are approaching in a driver's blind spot.

Volvo's Blind Spot Information System
In the future, the number of whiplash compensation claims could be reduced with the help of Volvo's Blind Spot Information System. The safety device works by using two cameras in both of the door mirrors to track the area alongside the rear of the vehicle. When a vehicle is approaching, a yellow warning light will illuminate on the car's door mirror telling the driver that there is an approaching vehicle in their blind spot.

Ford's blind spot developments
This car manufacture could also limit the number of whiplash compensation claims made following motor accidents as they are in the process of developing a new blind spot device. Ford has secured a patent for a device which operates by detecting subtle disruptions in the earth's magnetic field. Sensors fitted onto the car will sense oncoming vehicles and alert the driver with a audio warning.
