According to First Street Foundation, 23% of all roads in the U.S. are at high risk of flooding (that's almost 2 million miles combined) and becoming untraversable.

With low elevation, proximity to coastal regions, and increased extreme weather instances, drivers in the states below are at much higher risk of experiencing flood damage to their homes and vehicles.

In fact, 85% of the most at-risk counties in the U.S. are in these 4 states alone:

- Florida

- Kentucky

- West Virginia

- Louisiana, with 8 of the top 20 most at-risk counties and the most at-risk county in the U.S., Cameron Parish

For many, the off-roading season never stopped, but for newbies, it’s a new adventure that will require much prep. 

Though your vehicle (no matter how many wheels it has) may be a tough cookie, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take every safety precaution necessary before hitting the road.

Here are 6 essential items you should check off your list before you head out: 

Navigation Tools

Despite the existence of GPS apps, you’d need to take into account that the more off-the-grid you go, the less chance you’ll have phone service for apps to work. Standalone GPS devices are now advanced to the...

Though necessary pieces of infrastructure, many bridges have features that are just plain dangerous to drivers, especially novices.

Here are 4 of the scariest:

Fuller Warren Bridge

While it does run through one of the more accident-prone highways in America, the I-95, the bridge itself saw over 280 accidents in one year (2015). With 150,000 cars a day passing through it, a death approximately every two miles, and around 48 people dying every year, the busy bridge is definitely one to proceed with caution on. 

The Mackinac Bridge 

Imagine a bridge so imposing that there’s a state agency to help...

They'll take your breath away–figuratively and otherwise.

The U.S. has some of the most beautifully scenic drives in the world, and that’s a fact. A long drive through certain regions of the U.S. can transport you to land's most untamable terrains. 

Dangerous (or alluring, depending on who you ask) roads are everywhere from the slopes of the highest peaks to the frozen tundra.

Here are three of the most dangerous:

Tail of the Dragon 

Near the borders of Tennessee and North Carolina, on the edge of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, runs this infamous stretch of U.S. Route 129. With a...

Nobody wants a safety system that can’t weather the storm–whether that storm consists of snow, rain, sleet, or dust.

The elements have a habit of ruining expensive equipment by entering into any tiny crevice and seam not completely sealed off. 

Enter the Ingress Protection (IP) rating system, the scale used to identify how well your equipment’s interior is shielded from solid particulates, liquids, and submersion.

The scale works as such: 

- The first number after IP in any given rating applies to your equipment’s protection against solid elements like sand. This scale goes from 0-6, with 0...

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,...
