- Summary
- COI synopsis: Alarm systems - often a crucial element in securing safety, but they can also have a critical role to play in ensuring efficiency in other areas. A common cause of motor accidents is forgetting to check in the mirror to see whether it’s safe to turn. A new mirror incorporates flashing indicator-lights in its face so the driver will automatically glance into it every time he signals.
