Be Safe While Driving: The PD1 Parking Sensor

Driving in traffic can be difficult.  You have to keep checking your mirrors, make sure you are a good distance from other cars when you stop, and just know where your car starts and ends.  When you are in a lot of traffic you may want to move into a new lane for various reasons.  For example the lane you are in may be blocked because of an accident or road construction.  In these situations, when traffic is crawling along the road parking sensors can be very important. 

Front and rear parking sensors will help you move into the new lane without fear of being too close to the other cars. Instead of wondering if you can make it into the next lane your parking sensors can help you know that you do have that space. 

There are a couple of parking aid brands that you can choose.  Laserline, Steel Mate, and Parking Dynamics are three of the brands on the market.  Parking Dynamics or PD1 is the only electromagnetic parking sensor.  This means that they adhere to the back side of your bumper with tape rather than requiring a drill hole.  They are also hidden so that they don’t detract from the overall look of your vehicle.  They are not an ultrasonic system.  Laserline and Steel Mate are both ultrasonic systems requiring a hole to be drilled.  They are exposed and need maintenance, which is another reason the PD1 can help you in any situation.
