VIDEO: New rear-mounted Samsung screens on trucks will allow for safer overtaking

• http://www.independent.ie, Patricia Murphy

The new screens from the Korean company are connected to wireless cameras at the front of the truck, which allow drivers to see the road ahead of articulated lorries and other large vehicles. 

The viability and functionality of the screens are currently being tested in Argentina, where head-on collision caused by over-taking is the largest cause of road death.

The company has expressed its desire to establish the 'Safety Trucks'  around the world and revealed that it is currently working with relevant organisations to offer guidance on getting the screens approved my Road Safety Authorities internationally.
