Who's looking at the road ahead?![]()
I know this is meant as humor, but it is a good question. We found (my wife and me) that we could glance down while in forward motion and with a bright enough screen to be seen. We used it mostly when passing trucks to see that we were clear of the truck before pulling back in. Since the camera is on the back of the trailer, I knew if I could see the front of the truck, I was past it.
In addition, we actually used it as a backup camera while backing in to a site. It helped but I would have had to get out and look occasionally without my wife being behind the trailer and talking me in with the use of a pair of walkie-talkies.
I also used it for an occasional time when I needed to back up a short distance, like at a gas station to position to a different pump and wanted to be sure there was no one close behind before backing up. Worked great for that.
