Blind Spot Radar: Like an extra set of eyes for your truck

Spotto’s Blind Spot Radar is like an extra set of eyes when you’re out on the road and Spotto has a special EOFY offer for Big Rigs readers.

Many motorists assume that because a truck is higher than a car, truck drivers have a better view of what’s around them – though as we know, that’s not the case. Trucks have much bigger blind spots than cars.

Truck blind spots, and the road users that are unaware of them, are one of the most common causes of collisions on Australian roads each year.

While trucks differ across make and model, and the size and type of mirrors fitted may differ, they all have similar blind areas where other road users simply cannot be seen.

The most common blind spots directly in front of the truck, directly behind the truck, beside the driver’s door, on the passenger side extending into the adjacent lane and backwards, and to the left of the bonnet on bonneted trucks.

Spotto’s Blind Spot Radar combines radar detection with visual and audible alerts. It’s an intelligent, speed-adaptive driver assistance system that lets you change lanes and manoeuvre with confidence.

As we approach the End of Financial Year (EOFY), Spotto is offering a 20 per cent discount on its Blind Spot Radars to Big Rigs readers.

Visit the Spotto website and order by June 30, 2022, using the code BIG RIGS at checkout to receive 20 per cent off the purchase price.
