The results of our search for the “deadliest vehicles” on the road today in America came as no shock to us. 

In fact, there’s a high chance that the person reading (and writing) this has either driven or owned one of the vehicles on the list.

In no particular order, we’ve singled out some of the deadliest in each of the vehicle categories, from a study done by Value Penguin.

Some of these might ring very close to home, as their popularity definitely plays a part in the high accident rates just by default .

• Ford F Series

Ford trucks like the F-150 and its family of pickups are among the most popular...

Many of us may not have a choice in the matter, but the rest of us will want to stay far from driving down any of these highways by the end of this article. 

While there can be any number of qualifiers to base this list on, a death count is usually the most poignant indicator of danger. 

That being said, these are the worst offenders: 

• Interstate 4 In Tampa, FL

The notoriously dangerous I-4 between Tampa and Daytona Beach is the deadliest in the nation according to many lists, with 1.2 deaths per mile for its 130-mile-long stretch. The deadliest city along this highway? Orlando, home to the...

It's mid-2021 and the commercial trucking industry has endured a year of everything from the pandemic, todriver shortages, and extreme weather events.

Like our shockproof 1080 Series, we've made it through that bumpy ride and plan to keep on trucking, That being said, fleet operations that are also interested in playing the long (and profitable game) need to consider making one of the best investments possible: the Mobile DVR.

Why, you ask? It's all in the features, of course:

• GPS Tracking & Live Remote Viewing (With Personal Data Plan)

With a rise in valuable medical supplies, essentials, vaccines,...

Chances are, you’ve turned on the news in recent weeks only to be bombarded with stories about “record breaking” weather events. 

Whether it be flooding, massive thunderstorms, floods, or extreme heat, it seems that extreme weather conditions have been ramping up lately (and just think, hurricane season isn’t even here yet!). 

Here at Rear View Safety, we believe it’s better to be prepared for Mother Nature than to be surprised by her, and these products are just some of the ways we try to plan ahead when it comes to facing the elements and the havoc they wreak. 

After all, who wants wet, stalled-out,...

Though it’s been one of the hottest tech stories over the past few recent years, one recent headline in particular is making autonomous-driving technology much more of a reality than it’s ever been. 

The TuSimple company’s self-driving semi-truck just completed a 951 mile route, delivering watermelons, from Arizona to Oklahoma in just 14 hours and 6 minutes--a route which would usually take around 24 hours with a human driver. 

To anyone reading this, it sounds like it spells disaster for the future of professional truck drivers going forward. After all, who doesn’t want their watermelon a full...

‘Tis the season to gather up your travel buddies, hit the road, and start road-tripping! 

Of course, you’ll need to stock up on supplies before you get going, and there are gadgets aplenty that are all but necessary for road-tripping, no matter what your setup is. 

We’ve got a list of essentials that will keep you safe and mobile, whether your vehicle of choice is an RV, a van, a motorhome, a travel trailer, or a camper. 

Vehicle Flood Light

It’s no secret: many of the roads on long trips in the U.S. are dismally dark, and potential campsites, even more so. 

A good floodlight not only makes...

Everyone needs a break, and that goes double for truckers. 

After hours spent on the road, nothing beats a good truck stop to break the monotony and just relax. With so much highway and truck stops to go with it, chances are that you won’t always come across a great one that often. 

That being said, here are a few of the more highly-touted truck-stops that go above and beyond just providing the basic necessities: 

Jubitz (Portland, OR) 

Located off the I-5 at exit 307 near the Portland International Airport, Jubitz is one of the most popular and well-known truck stops. 

It boasts a wide range...

2020 was not a good year for cargo security. 

With the pandemic making every vaccine, food, and essential equipment shipment even more precious, theft affected more than just the bottom line; lives were at stake within any given freight!

According to CargoNet, 2020 was the year of: a 16% increase  in supply chain risk events in 2020, a 19% increase in average theft value ($166,334), a 91.43% year-over-year increase of reported theft in Q2, and a 26.92% year-over-year increase in reported theft in Q3. Trailer theft and tractor theft rose 49% and 18%, respectively. 

Thieves utilized everything...

Not all 360 systems are created equally!

Sure, it’s been less than a year since Rear View Safety unveiled the inView 360° HD Around Vehicle Monitoring System, but it's already going through a major update--and it’s the type that separates it from the rest of the pack...

The 360 is already a big draw for fleets seeking to reinforce the safety and security of their vehicles. 

Though compact, the ultra-wide fish-eye lenses on the fixed-mount FHD cameras are able to capture and stitch together 4 views into one, real-time, full 360-view around the vehicle. 

Instant-reverse activates the rear camera...

"It's absolutely adorable." 

“This thing looks like a Big Mouth character”

“As a fan of 2000s Cartoon Network I wish all cars looked like this”

It hasn’t even taken to the streets yet, but the next generation of USPS trucks is already raising eyebrows!

The new concept for the NGDV (Next Generation Delivery Vehicle) will be made by Oshkosh Defense, who recently won the 10-year contract for the job.

Over the next 10 years, the company will produce somewhere between 50,000 to 165,000 of the futuristic-looking vehicles, with the first batch expected to hit the streets in 2023. 

That proposed...

A big part of the new White House's agenda will be electrification initiatives across the board, especially with commercial vehicles. In fact, The Biden Administration is pushing for net-zero emissions by 2050, with intentions to have the entire US government fleet transition to electric first.

While the the drive to electrification among commercial vehicle manufacturers has been in motion even before any of this, Americans companies are ramping up their production of electric work vans, trucks, and semis in the race to zero...

GM & Navistar 

GM, Navistar, and OneH2 are collaborating for a hydrogen-fuel...

The reviews speak for themselves: people love the inView 360 systems and how they eliminate blind spots with their revolutionary Around Vehicle Monitoring System.

However, here at RVS, we know every little detail is critical when it comes to safety. So when we received some feedback about how long (and sometimes tricky) the calibration process could be, we got to work on streamlining it...

The calibration process combines images from every camera angle (front, back, left, and right) to make a 360° birds-eye view of a vehicle’s surrounding space; it’s the defining feature of the InView 360° HD Around...

St. Patrick’s Day has long been the day designated to celebrate the Irish roots of approximately 34.2 million Americans. However, St. Patrick’s Day is also a very dangerous day for driving. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, between 2012 to 2016 during the St. Patrick’s Day holiday period, there were 269 fatalities due to drunk driving crashes. If you're going to celebrate with alcohol, be sure to remember the following precautions.

Safety Tips

Plan ahead. Decide how you are going to get home before you go out. If you plan on drinking alcohol, designate a sober, reliable...

My idea of winter driving was to warming my Subaru sedan up, leaving early and driving slow/defensively. While the two later latter points are valid, I learned later that heating up the car is not a good idea. I also learned more about winter tires.

Winter Tires

Growing up in the Midwest I definitely heard of winter tires, but had never used them. According to the Traffic Injury Safety Foundation, certain types of these tires can impact braking distance by up to 25 percent. This distance could be the difference between a close call and an accident, which is huge. In adverse winter conditions...
