Geoffrey Palermo, the owner of the automotive conglomerate GMP Cars, LLC, has served as a business executive for more than three decades. Originally focused on the hospitality industry, he changed his professional focus to concentrate on his passion for cars in 2016. Since then, Geoffrey Palermo and the rest of his team have provided in-house services such as backup-camera work.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 207 people died as a result of a car accidentally backing over them in 2010. Another 15,000 or more were injured in such incidents. Much of this has to do with the fact that seeing out of a rear window is not as easy in modern cars. To counteract the issue, more drivers are either installing or maintaining backup cameras.
With a backup camera system, drivers can reverse their vehicles with less anxiety than they otherwise would. This is because backup cameras make it easier for drivers to spot pets, small children, and hazards behind them.
Beyond that, parking is improved with backup cameras, specifically parallel parking. In many states, parallel parking is not a skill that’s required to earn a driver’s license. As a result, many younger drivers struggle with it. Since backup cameras improve rear visibility, they make it easier for drivers to see how close they are to the vehicle behind them when parallel parking.
Finally, backup cameras save drivers money. The cost of installing such a system can deter drivers from taking the plunge. However, the amount they save in the long run makes such systems worthwhile. Since backup cameras reduce collisions with other vehicles and people, drivers save on both medical and auto-repair bills.
