What is John new idea?
brakeaware© is an electrical safety system for checking your brake lights prior to using your vehicle on the road. Easily installed and controlled by remote key fob, it allows the user to activate the brake lights whilst standing behind the vehicle (*1) up to 70m range
Why do we need to check our brakelights ?
As stated in the Highway Code you have a legal duty to take special care that lights, brakes, steering, exhaust system, seatbelts, demisters, wipers and washers are all working.
So it is a legal requirement that all your brakelights are working.
brakeaware© will cut down the risk of -
A rear end collision and possible serious injury.
brakeaware© will save money-
On insurance claims, costs for damages, inconvenience and that ever present duty to sue for damages and injuries which can cost £1000’s.
Not to mention-
Breaking the law which could result in being spotchecked by the police and prosecuted.
brakeaware© assists with the daily walkaround check for drivers of LGV’s, PSV’s which is a legal requirement set out in your operator licence.Most company car drivers also perform these checks prior to using their cars on our roads.
Once fitted to a vehicle it not only gives a visual check of their brake lights but a visual check of all trailer brakelights that is connected to the vehicle.
Perfect for LGV trailers, caravans , car or van trailers , horseboxes.
It is perfect for Taxi’s, Buses and Ambulance’s which carry passengers in the rear of their vehicles and perfect for Mother’s who strap their children into the rear of their cars day in day out.
If the brakelights are not functioning on the vehicle your driving guess who is nearest the impact.
