New gadget I want

I love gadgets. Specially those that prove themselves useful. I just came across one called LaneFX. Cheesy name, but useful if you ask me.

All it does is something as simply as move your mirrors when you activate your turn signal. It moves the mirrors so that you can easily see your blind spot without turning your head.

It’s not that I’m lazy. It’s just that when I’m doing 80 on the I-4 among hundreds of bad tourists drivers, I rather not take my eyes off the road long enough to look over my shoulder and make sure that there is no one there. That check is more than a split second check, it’s usually at least a 2 second check. And sometimes I look and on a couple occasions I have still missed a car in my blind spot. I could also lean forward so that I can see other areas using the mirror, but that always makes me uncomfortable.

Sure. Laugh at me. Wouldn’t it just be easier to glance at the mirror and see if there is a car there? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe it’s a stupid and pointless gadget, but it has peaked my interest and I would like to try it, too bad they don’t seem to have any dealers or installers in this area.
