Have you ever been driving when it’s extremely foggy out? I’m talking so foggy that you say to yourself, our to your passengers, “Wow this fog is so bad i can’t even see the lines!”. I feel like I have on several different occasions. What a such a scary feeling, especially at night! When you go around a curve or over a hill your always stuck wondering if someone is going to be coming right at you and you not be in the correct lane or vice versa and…. BOOM! Luckily though, we now live in 2017. Where technology really ties in and helps you with those nail biting situations! For that particular issue we now have Lane Departure Warring! This is a feature that the U.S National Highway Traffic Safety Administration started studying around 2009! This is a feature that didn’t really become as widespread though until 2015. This isn’t just perfect for those situations but others as well. We are all human. There are times that you are driving down the road and it’s just a normal sunny day and for 1 reason or another you cross one of the lines you are supposed to stay in between. Which means you potentially are putting yourself at risk as well as others and it being a complete accident. How nice is it that they now have technology to take care of that though?
