TWO EURO DOOR ALERT DEVICE CAN PREVENT THOUSANDS OF CYCLING ACCIDENTS.
Every year, thousands of cyclists and motorcyclists are injured in road collisions due to car doors opening suddenly. Now tech company Semcon has devised a solution, Life Sticker, which users can easily stick to their door mirrors and costs less than two euros to produce. It can be attached to any vehicle and alerts the driver when cyclists are approaching. A prototype has been developed and is ready to be industrialised.As cycling increases, we are seeing an increase in the number of accidents; not least in urban environments where lots of people all have to share the space available.
