Did you know that more than 250 people are killed on the hard shoulder of UK motorways each year, whilst waiting for breakdown assistance? Apparently the primary cause of such accidents is fatigue and loss of concentration. Tired drivers focus on stationary vehicles on the hard shoulder, imagining they're following a moving vehicle, until it is too late and a collision occurs. So what can be done asks Biglorryblog?

Well you might try using the all-new DALights kit which creates a safe line of lights which leads other motorists out and around a stationary vehicle, significantly reducing the chances of a collision. The DALights kit consists of three LED micro studs that are placed around the car and emit a light bright enough to be seen by motorists travelling up to 1,000 metres (that's 0.62 miles)away which netter than  awarning triangle. Even in poor weather conditions there's no worry about the lights dimming, as they're programmed to flash for 24 hours on a full battery. What's more the studs can be recharged in a carry case that plugs into any standard cigarette lighter.

Sounds great (until you drive a 44-tonner over one)....but I digress. Now click through here to find out more and how to see a demo video...

According to the PR blurb: "Both the police and Fire service have already started to use similar products when attending jobs and incidents. But now DALights are available to the general public, helping to keep you safe on the roads. At just £19.99 you can make yourself safe for an affordable cost. DALights can be used by anyone and is essential for every vehicle." To find out more and to view the demonstration video please visit DALights' website.

So what do you think BLB anorak army? Practical or what?

I've just purchased one of these kits from DA Lights. As I'm always on the road I feel far more comfortable having this kit incase I have to stop on the side of the road!
Good kit and easy to store in the boot!
I went to www.dalights.co.uk and rang the number.
