I bought a souped-up Mini Cooper from a car-enthusiast friend. As I sat for the first time in the driver’s seat, I noticed what looked like an irregularity in the top of the windshield. Peering more closely, I saw it was a little Fresnel lens. “What’s that for?” I asked.<\/p>\n
“It’s the coolest thing,” he said. “I found it on one of the Mini sites. It lets you see when the light turns green without having to crane your neck.”<\/p>\n
Sure enough, it does. Another friend was riding with me a few weeks later became so enamored with the device, I peeled it off and gave it to him. While waiting for a replacement I had to bend my neck sideways and lean forward to see the light when I’m first in line. What a pain compared to just sitting back comfortably and waiting for that little red dot in the lens to go green.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer says Light In Sight works for all kinds of vehicles and is “especially helpful for taller drivers, drivers in smaller cars, delivery vans and trucks, and drivers with a mobility problem, such as a neck or back problem.”<\/p>\n
LightInSight is self-adhering (assisted with a wet paper towel), easily removable and reusable. It measures 7″ by 1-1\/2.”<\/p>\n
