AP – New requirements from the Transportation Department are intended to improve rear visibility in cars by the 2014 model year. Most carmakers would comply by installing rear-mounted video cameras and in-vehicle displays. The government estimated that video systems would add about $200 to the cost of each new vehicle.
Nearly 300 people are killed and 18,000 injured each year because of backovers, according to data kept by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Many happen in driveways and parking lots. Nearly half the deaths involve children under age 5, and the crashes also affect the elderly.The agency estimated that the requirements annually could save 95 to 112 lives and prevent more than 7,000 injuries.
What a bunch of horse shit. Doesn’t this stupid assedgovernmenthave anything better to do than to propose legislation to put backup cameras in all new cars? Let’s make it madatory to increase the price of all cars to include backup cameras. Do you really think half the technology illiterate moron drivers in this country will know how to use a backup camera? Second, they’ll be fiddling with the damn screen and probably run someone over anyway. I have no problem with back up cameras, but it should be limited to those (cough rich people cough) who choose to install one. Not everyone has money to throw around you know. And this moron government is like “nah everyone must use this, omg it’ll save lives.” Bullshit.
I have a method that can save lives and prevent injuries – how about people fucking use their own eyes to look in their mirrors and over both shoulders before actually backing up, stop being oblivious and pay the fuck attention? That will solve it all.
It’s like that 85 year old asshole bitch who ran over and killed some teacher in Bronxville, then backed up over her again to see what she hit. Then she drove away and the poor woman was stilllyingin the street and got hit by another car. Christ! See this is the problem with the judicial system. What are they going to do? Throw her in jail for her 2 remaining years until she kicks it? Sue her? For sure not! And would a backup camera doanything? Nope? The old fool would probably have to put on some reading glasses to look at it. The only proper punishment for this joker is to run her over with a car, then throw it in reverse and back up over her., preferably in a car WITH a back up camera. Enough said. If you’re too stupid to properly handle a car, pay the consequences, manslaughter-er. I’m sick of these old people getting away with everything because they pull the age card. “Oh I’m half dead, I didn’t know any better…” Not in my book, grandma – you’re getting your ass run over!
