There are tons of cars visible in our cities. And the number is continually getting higher. Even though the number of automobiles becomes higher quickly, the number of free parking space grows very slowly. Repeatedly, if we want to park a car, we have to place our car in a very limited space. It is not uncommon that we ned to park back or reverse car into a parking space.

Most of us as practicing that skill plenty of times during driving course. Most of us have to present that skill during the driving test. Personally, I do not know anyone that feels confident and relaxed when reversing car. I also had that problem since I could remember. And it regularly made me feel very stressed. Theoretically, I knew how to conduct this. Practically, I was terrified that I will harm something or someone with my car. This vision worried me so much that I even started to avoid reverse parking.

The thing that was even more scarry for me was that there is field called “blind area” just behind my car. Have you ever thought about this? It is an field which cannot be seen in a rearview mirror. Blind area cannot be directly seen from the car if you Are on a driver sit. You have to admit, it's a little creepy that you do not see thearea right behind a car. Area which is crucial for parking your car safely.

Thus, I have started a research. I have asked many friends and family members. Many of them have told me to purchase parking sensors. They have told me that they are ultrasonic sensors that could alert me if there is an obstacle over my car while I park. I need to admit – it is better than nothing. Nevertheless, I had big doubt if I should purchase them. Why? I often knew that there was obstacle behind my car. I normally knew if it was rather close or still distant. What I wanted to have was something that could provide me with the exact information about how larg is the distance between the back of the car and the thing behind it.

What is substantial is that thanks to upgrade reverse camera bmw I am not afraid of reverse parking anymore!
