You have just finished your weekly grocery shopping, and are now going to back out of the parking space in your Peugeot. You have had the Peugeot for two months. It is in pristine condition. Unfortunately as you back out, someone races past you because they see a parking spot closer to the store front. They weren’t paying attention to your car or its back up lights. Instead they were totally oblivious. Thankfully you were paying attention and just as they moved past your bumper missing it by a few centimetres you hit the brakes. Unfortunately a scenario like this is becoming more common in parking areas. Other drivers just pay attention to their cars and not what is going on around them. If you had a blind spot in your Peugeot where you didn’t see the car in time, the scenario could have been much different. 

Citroen may not be a luxury car worth half a million dollars, but any possession you have is worthy of protection. Simply put you want to ensure your Citroen will continue to look factory new as the years go by. More than that fixing a car after an accident can be costly, and some of us just don’t want to come up with the money needed. There is a way to prevent some accidents though. Parking accidents are the leading cause of most damaged bumpers. To prevent parking accidents and maintain parking safety you should consider the Citroen parking sensor Parking Dynamics PD1.

The Citroen parking sensor Parking Dynamics PD1 can protect in front parking accidents as well as reverse parking accidents providing all around parking safety. You might be asking yourself, how can this Citroen parking sensor Parking Dynamics PD1 kit help you?

First there is a front Citroen parking sensor from Parking Dynamics. This front parking sensor adheres to the backside of the bumper keeping the factory look. When you engage the car parking sensor it will read the area around it for fences, bushes, pets, people, and other vehicles. When you get too close the front Citroen parking sensor will offer a constant beep sound to tell you to stop and reposition. The front Citroen parking sensor is great for parallel parking jobs.

Secondly there is a rear Citroen parking sensor from Parking Dynamics. The rear parking sensor fits on the back bumper just like the front parking sensor. It will even read the same types of obstacles. However, there is a difference. The rear car parking sensor engages with the reverse gear in your car. It also has three zones that it reads helping you move closer to an object. The front car parking sensor only has two zones. You also have an option in the rear Citroen parking sensor. If you want more reliability you can purchase the rear vision parking sensor. The rear vision parking aids offer an LED display to give you a clearer picture around your bumper.

To protect yourself against reversing parking accidents or any parking accident the Citroen parking sensor Parking Dynamics PD1 should be installed on your car.

Volkswagen has a number of great cars on the market. They offer the Beetle, Jetta, and many others. This means you will have a great looking car that you want to protect. To protect your vehicle you need more than just a security system. The security system will alert you to anyone breaking into the car, but it will not help you in parking situations. Did you know that 30 percent of parking accidents happen because of driver error? You still have 70 percent caused by other error, such as someone not paying attention to what you are doing. To help avoid the normal parking accidents that can occur, you should have something to protect your Volkswagen. The best way to avoid most parking accidents is common sense and awareness, but what if you have a blind spot? Blind spots in your car or around the area you are backing out of can be just as dangerous as not paying attention.

Parking accidents are common; what’s more they occur with higher frequency in countries with slick wet roads like the UK. As the season grows colder and snow begins to stick to the roads and parking areas you want to make sure your vehicle is covered. Everyone has to have insurance in order to get a vehicle registered, but when the average cost of vehicle accidents for parking is about 500 pounds you want to have the best protection available for your vehicle. There are two types of parking sensors on the market. These parking sensors are meant to give your vehicle all around protection from any type of parking accident that may occur. The first parking sensor is the JML parking sensor. The second type is the Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor.

The PD1 Citroen parking sensor will work on any model Citroen you might have. Protecting your vehicle is very important to you. As a company Parking Dynamics realises just how much you want to make sure your car is always safe. There are times when your car might be left parked on a street or accident occurs that is not your fault. Sadly these types of safety measures are hard to protect. However, with the PD1 Citroen parking sensor you can at least have parking safety measures in place. 

Just the mention of parallel parking seems to strike fear in the heart of many new and experienced drivers. Drivers learning to take their test can spend weeks improving this technique and continue to perfect it once they pass their test.

Its a fact that many people try to avoid parallel parking where ever possible, however if you live in or near a large city, no matter how hard you try, you will eventually find the need to parallel park your car.

Parallel parking is difficult because it requires you to have extremely acute spatial perception of your environment and everything in it within close proximity. You need to be aware at all times, exactly where each corner of your vehicle is in relation to all other objects around the car, be it vehicles, people, traffic signs, etc.

To aid manoeuvrability large trucks have flexible locators situated on their bumpers so the driver knows exactly where the edges of their front bumpers (which are the widest part of the truck), are positioned so he can pass other vehicles and make turns without error.

Misjudging where your bumpers or fenders are can cause you to hit the car in front of you or the car to your rear as you attempt to get comfortably into the parking space. You can also so easily hop on the curb; hit a parking meter or some other object on the pavement or sidewalk.

But the most frustrating is scuffing or damaging the sidewall of your tyre or new alloy wheel by catching it on the curb. Incidentally a serious consequence of a damaged sidewall is a subsequent blow out which is highly dangerous while driving at speed.

You also need to be fully aware if there is any traffic coming up behind you, passing or parking. Since you are backing up, if another driver turns a corner and runs into you, it will be your fault, period!
 
Fortunately, a simple parking sensor can prevent these incidents and problems by pre-warning you when an object is close, so you can react with time to spare.

In Part 4 we will discuss a common injury and how we can prevent this.

I was coming out of a shopping centre and loading groceries into the boot of my car when all of the sudden I felt something hit me from behind. The next thing I knew, I was in hospital and missing my left hand. My right hand was all bandaged. I was the victim of a freak parking accident. 

An unidentified woman in Scotland was seriously maimed during a freak parking accident in which a driver of a car backed into her when she was putting groceries into the boot of her car. The driver was cited for a violation for the accident that occurred as the driver was backing out of a parking space. 

When Princess, a toy poodle, got out of the house one day, she got into a little trouble. She was on a tether pole but ended up getting loose from the pole and wandering the streets. As Princess was not used to being out in the outside world and was a show dog, she was not spayed. She came across a male dog and low and behold, became pregnant with puppies. 

A man who found out about car sensors at church from his vicar decided to purchase back up sensors for his car online and was glad that he did. 

Three weeks after purchasing back up sensors on a site called Parking Dynamics, the Manchester native avoided a parking accident with his elderly neighbor.
