Dash-cams
Dash-cams. Do you need one? Not really, unless it has other useful features, such as a backup camera or motion sensor so you can film anyone disturbing your vehicle in a parking lot.
Otherwise, a dash-cam can only be used to shoot a scenic drive out the front, or record an accident, in all it's vivid details. Hardly worth the money. But read on for some more versatile dash-cams.

Radar/Laser Detectors
Of course, it remains without saying that you shouldn't speed on the highways. But what about speed traps? You have the right to protect yourself against those, right?
I find that my radar detector actually slows me down. Whenever it goes off, I automatically look down at my speedometer to adjust back down to the speed limit.
The detector has become more of a "speeding deterrent" than an enabler.
That being said, a detector pays for itself with one avoided speeding ticket.

Auto BlueTooth
Many of the newest late-model autos come already equipped with Bluetooth.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology which allows you to play music and make mobile phone calls seamlessly over your car's speakers, hands-free.
This is a definite upgrade for your vehicle and well worth the minimal price.

BLIND SPOT MIRRORS
One of the best features in new cars these days is the blind spot alert function, which blinks a warning light when a car is in your blind spot.
But if you have an older vehicle, you can get the same sort of function by just adding small blind spot mirrors to your side-views.
LED TURNING ARROWS
This is a huge improvement in car safety. Add these inexpensive turning arrows to your side-view mirrors, and no one can fail to see your signal!

SEATBELT CUTTER & WINDOW GLASS BREAKER
For just a few bucks you can protect yourself from your worst nightmare... being trapped in your vehicle after an accident.
This situation would be even worse if you found yourself trapped in a car which is sinking fast in water. How to get out? The water has shorted out the electric windows...
These clever kits include a carbide tipped window breaking tool as well as a sharp razor to cut through the strap of a jammed seat belt.
Also makes a unique and thoughtful gift!
