My car, and lots of newer cars, have blindspot sensors that detect something in the 'blindspot' beside and slightly behind the car. They light up signals on the mirrors. If I turn the turn signal on, they flash (and there's a beeper, if I try to change lanes, too). Both the lighting up and flashing are visible to someone out side the car. I see them come on other cars, when I ride past them when they're stopped and I'm not. Yes, my experience is same as David's. The sensors seem pretty sensitive, and I can easily imagine they would pick up a bike and rider. -- Ted Heise West Lafayette, IN, USA |
