Abstract

A safe viewing system for the drivers when over-taking the vehicle in the front with out going too much into the way on the road serving the traffic in the opposite direction, especially useful on a shared road serving to and fro traffic in single lane. Here, I assume that it is a left-hand driving system while this technology can be applied to the right-hand driving system also. If there is a large vehicle in the front and the driver behind wished to overtake that vehicle, the driver has to steer the vehicle towards the right to see the traffic coming from the opposite direction. If the vehicle in the opposite direction is in very close proximity, there would be a potential for a head-on collision as the driver has to back into his lane. Through this system, the driver needs to steer a tiny bit to see oncoming traffic.

Claims

1. A side-eye to the vehicle for improving safety when a driver begins to overtake the vehicle in the front by viewing the traffic coming in the opposite direction, comprising:

1) a vehicle of any sort—

including a driver'"'"'s side, and a passenger side, doors of both driver side and passenger side, front bumper, engine parts under bonnet. This is applicable for both sides of the vehicle (driver side and the passenger side).

2) the side eye installed on the side view mirrors on both the sides along with the LCD screen mounted on the dashboard of the vehicle.

3) this said side view system can be applied to both sides of the car and both sides of driving systems.
