Hi Mary Catherine. Sorry I was not really clear it doesn't actually stop people using mobiles behind the wheel. My husband looked at info and the demo video and what it actually does is serves as a visible warning. If I was texting and the car in front of me ( with the lights installed ) suddenly braked or had to slow down quickly the position of the flashing lights attracts your attention ( peripheral vision ) an attention getter so you get an extra 1/2 seconds warning.
Also very effective in ensuring people keep adequate distance. Seems to be functional in poor weather too !!
I found articles that were written here about it and it appears Dubai Taxis are running a test on a small quantity and maybe they will pre-load into every taxi.
Great to see them proactive my kids take taxis to school and whilst thankfully never been involved in an accident ( school bus yes a rear ender once , the lady driver who crashed into them did not even stop the bus driver didn't check if any child was injured more concerned about the damage to his back bumper!!! I decided to go the taxi route )
I will try post articles I'm not great at adding links. I thought to be honest it was a Toyota standard in new cars but appears not. Have a safe day and anyone else who sees one let us know !!! I want those lights :cool:
