Default Sonar device will help police safe passing laws.

"BikeBiz reports on a bike-mounted system that can calculate the proximity of passing vehicles. The C3FT device has been developed for the enforcement of safe passing laws by Austin-based engineering firm, Codaxus.

The C3FT uses an ultrasonic detector on an adjustable arm with the measurements immediately displayed on a numeric display. The device can also be set up to buzz when a vehicle passes inside a preset threshold."

Excellent news. Cyclists can use it to judge the gap required to avoid
a car door. Since they don't have any anticipation or observation
skills, this could be a big help for them.

With camera evidence - it will be much simpler to bring these criminals to court. Isn't technology great?
