Why is the RSBP an important innovation?
"In most cases where accidents, injuries and fatalities have occurred on British roads, it was reported that drivers of approaching vehicles did not see the hazard warning triangle or the broken down vehicle's flashing hazard lights in time. This was either due to following larger vehicles that obstructed the inside view, or due to the inclement weather (i.e rain or snow), thus reducing the drivers visibility in seeing any of the vehicle warning signs".
Quote from UK Road Safety Officials
The RSBP is quickly and easily fitted externally, therefore it displays a high visual warning immediately to following traffic.
The RSBP can be seen from distances of over 1km, offering far greater potential for protection for drivers, passengers and vehicles in the event of a breakdown emergency than currently available hazard warning devices on the market. The RSBP is designed for use in conjunction with a vehicle's own intergrated safety systems as well as conventional, portable hazard warning devices.
The RSBP offers oncoming traffic more time to identify a hazard on the carriageway at much safer distances and react accordingly i.e. SLOW DOWN AND PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
