behind you unless you have a "reverse sensor", you probably shouldn't be

Flame warSpam for reversing sensors sparks long off-topic argument
A spam advert for car reversing sensors drew Daxe Rexford's remark that anyone needing one should not drive, which set off a long argument about child safety, mirrors, speed limits and SUVs. Leaky_Valve traded insults with several regulars, and the thread drifted into jokes and complaints about its length for a piece of spam.
off-topichumour
Automated summary.
Not flaming you Daxe, but in my neighborhood, when I was young, a delivery
van backed over a child who had wandered behind it. It was devestating to
all, the family, the driver and the neighborhood. You know the old saying ,
if it saves one life....

If a child suddenly runs(or rides) behind your vehicle, would you really have
time to react even IF you had a warning system?
That's why you make sure no kids are near you when you DO back up... It's
called Driving 101. No need to get hostile.

I have a toddler. Before I even put the car in gear I make darn sure that
she isn't anywhere near it and neither are my dogs. I drive for a living.
I may be biased, but I think people who accept the responsibility inherent
in driving a car should take at least that much care to monitor their
surroundings without electronic assistance.

I wonder what happens when the user gets so used to having his vehicle tell him
when its "safe" to back up that he stops looking back. Then, one day the electronic
system fails to warn him and he runs over a kid. Who gets sued?
If you use the rear-view mirror, you never need to worry about a system failure.
And if your vehicle has a huge blind spot in the back (i.e. a van or other oversized
road behemoth) , you have to ask, "who was the rocket scientist that BOUGHT a
vehicle with a huge blind spot in the rear?"

When I was growing up, a little kid from a family we socialized with was run
over in the road on my street on his bike. It had a similar effect. So,
using your logic, we should all have electronic devices installed that alert
us when something is in FRONT of our cars, too, right? Or perhaps we should
call that what it was: deadly inattention and lack of control on the part of
the driver resulting in a tragic accident.
For the 'saves one life' maxim, I don't agree with that concept. It's a bit
like manadatory airbags (also known as PASSIVE restraints) in cars; they
have saved plenty of lives (of people who were too stupid to buckle up) but
they have also severely injured and killed people, too. What if the
electronic 'reverse sensor' caused you to reflexively turn your steering
wheel in a parking lot while backing up because it detected a burger wrapper
blowing across the parking lot behind your car? Since you were so good in
reacting to the alarm and swinging your car around the moving burger
wrapper, the front of your car went wide, crushing the little kid NEXT TO
your car against the car next to you in the parking lot. Do we need side
sensors, too?
I'm sorry. I have sensors already. They are called eyes, ears, etc.
Driving a car requires their constant and competent use. Electronic sensors
have notoriously poor judgement such that I really wouldn't trust one in a
situation as important as driving. IMHO we don't need anything that
encourages people to be LESS attentive while they are operating a motor
vehicle.

Unless the warning is a false alarm, causing you to do something you
*didn't* plan to do, which may be dangerous to people and things around your
car.
I have an idea! Lets get a little device that we can strap on toddlers that
makes a loud, horrible noise when they get near a car?
Because I spent most of the last three days around my relatives and my

No, my vehicles come with satisfactory mirrors. There is no need to take apart the
bathroom. You want to hear a funny story? Last year, I was considering buying an SUV. I
really liked the Chevy 2-door S-10 Blazer. but, when I drove it, I discovered that it has
blind spots that are just too large for me to feel safe with. So, despite all the pluses of
the vehicle, I didn't buy it because I didn't feel safe backing it up.
No need for an electronic gadget sold by some internet spam-meister. Just good common
sense and driving skill.

Any warning is beneficial.

Now we're talking sense! How about everyone is required by law to get
"Invisible Fence", the deal designed for dogs which shocks them if they leave
the yard. Wandering kids would learn quickly that staying on the green stuff

I've seen posted speed limits that seemed ridiculously high for

Driving *below* the posted speed limit isn't usually necessary unless the
weather conditions warrant it. Quite frankly, driving *at* the posted speed
limit is only usually warranted when there's someone around to hand you a
ticket for exceeding it. Likewise, a good driver can estimate his or her
speed pretty accurately without a speedometer. It's another of those basic
driving skills that you can't seem to grasp.

Apparently I did not "just_have_to own" one since I passed on it (as I said in my post). But,
even if I had bought it, I'd hardly call a 2 door S-10 Blazer an urban assualt vehicle since it
only weighs in at around 3500 lbs. For a person that knows so little about American cars, I'm
wondering why you chose automotive add-on junk as your product to spam the world with? Shouldn't
you be selling the "100 year Stay-Sharp Kitchen Knife" or some other very useful item?

I advocate having a spotter positioned on the roof of the vehicle,
communicating with the driver through a radio headset.

You aren't using the same email address as the original spammer, but you sure are strongly in his
corner. I have two email addresses. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Yes it was me who started it. Funny thing is there were no negative
posts in response.

The 'READ THIS!' thread was a stupid adverti***t, but the 'GPL fans
read this!' thread was a thank you thread to all the people that have
worked and still work on GPL.

Au contraire, I remember a thread to do with the Ferrari bargeboards

more. :-)
