M-C NORTH AMERICA, INC. SOLVES TRUCKERS “BLIND SPOT” PROBLEM

Every driver learns early in their career that safe driving of their vehicle (even the automobile) requires the driver to turn their head many times to look into an area before moving their vehicle into that area. This is required because of “blind spots” in the vehicles rear view mirror system leaves areas along the side of the vehicle that cannot be seen by looking into the mirrors.

Imagine driving a big truck weighing 40 tons or more having the same problem with blind spots plus an added problem: the driver still not cannot see the Blind Spot areas even if his head is turned because of the sheer size of the truck. “ I did not see the person or vehicle” is usually one of the first statements out of the driver’s mouth in reported accidents. Estimates continue to be made such as, every 16 minutes in our country, a person is killed or sustains injuries involving 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers or semi-trucks, and national statistics estimate that 35-45% of all accidents are caused by “blind spots”.
M-C North America Inc. is a Tennessee based company founded on the knowledge that the problem of “blind spots” in the rear view mirror systems on the big vehicles does not have to exist. Correct placement of the M-C North America mirror systems on the vehicle will show the driver all the area along the sides of the vehicle with just a glance, allowing the operator to focus attention on upcoming traffic.
The engineered mirror solution to these deadly “Blind Spots” requires advanced mirror technology that gives the operator a field of view that completely reveals the designated area and does it without distorting the driver’s perception or ability to use the images projected to make driving judgments. M-C North America Inc. has developed and is introducing this advanced mirror technology that meets these requirements.
