@MegaEssin 2 года назад

@Scott Stephens Speedbumps on a 35 mph road? There are no speedbumps designed for that speed, not to mention it slows respond times for first responds and makes it difficult for ambulance crews to work while on the move. And it also creates more noise, especially heavy vehicles. Lower speedlimits only work when the road forces you to drive slower or is constantly monitored by law enforcement or with speed cameras.

Mate, I have an idea. What you need to do is get a big led sign which reads 'Car currently backing out of the driveway ahead, please slow down.' You put two of these signs up on the road far enough from your driveway for people to see them, one in each direction. Then you wire them to your remote, and you can illuminate your signs each time you pull in and out. This way they will see you earlier.

Concern: Complacency sets in for both drivers, the speeder, after driving the route a few times, and the homeowner, who comes to rely on the lights doing their job (which is to affect the uninitiated). Solution: Remain diligent.

@gouthamsnair122 3 года назад

@iPhone5244 2 года назад

But a driver that drives that road everyday will only see the lights on when he is actively pulling out, let’s say they drive that road 2 times a day 5 days a week. And only see them on once or twice a week. Evertime they were on a car was actively backing out into the road they should associate the lights with someone backing out not “these dumb fake cops lights are trying to scare me into slowing down”

@glopesmartins 3 года назад

In Brazil, buildings that have a sidewalk in front of the garage door are required to put some flashing lights to warn pedestrians. So, when the garage door opens, the lights turn on. Because of this idea, people also put flashing lights if the door ends directly onto the street, so cars can slow down. It's not required, but it is smart.

Just so good. Not sure if you know the comedian Tony Baker (animal voice over guy), but tragically he lost his son recently, when their car was t boned in los angeles by speedsters. So the problem is clearly very real. Really nice solution. Stay safe.

It was the gti at the end for me lol. Production idea: a solar powered flashing light post, kinda like a mailbox right, one on ither side of the road. Lights face both directions. You either push a button to activate or a motion sensor in your driveway a settable timer in 30sec increments. Replaceable Colored lenses to fit different town rules and also like other parts make them Replaceable plastic for ease of fixing.

I'm sure you have saved lives with this video. When driving I accelerate fast and brake slow because I'm paying attention and plan. Relative speed is the key.

Your content is very refreshing Van. Keep sharing Sir, love it.

That should be a "shark tank" pitch. I grew up on a blind hill with the speed limit 55mph here in michigan. A mirror wouldn't work because it would be on the neighbors property. Thinking solutions to a problem thought unsolvable, or just something you have to deal with is why I appreciate your channel. Thank you Van. Keep it up

where I live it is pretty common for people to install lights where there's a garage entrance that flash red and yellow when someone opens the gate

I used to drive a GTI. Def would have been going way faster than I should have in my infinite wisdom on that road. Also, Vans life will be fully life proofed one day and I am so excited to see that
