Reversing Aids

I have seen some mpv's etc with a lens on the back screen which aids reversing. Any idea where i can get one at a good price. Need about 3 for vehicles in the family
Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D

    They've got them in the pound shop near me but I don't know what the quality is like.

    Agreed, if you cannot reverse without these aids, you may consider some driving lessons.

    If i can park a LWB van that only has two wing mirrors without a problem i really cannot see (no pun intended!) how people can have a problem with a normal car.

    How do you know that don't have restricted movement or spacial awareness that isn't as good as yours ?

    The OP asked a simple question i assume to try and make life easier for them self.

    Not getting at you specifically but there is a very sad lack of tolorance in this thread. Its a great shame people feel the need to criticise rather than provide positive help....just a reflection of the society we live in today i guess.

    I am disabled and have difficulty getting in and out of car especially when reversing into a parking slot. With my current car, a mondeo, i can judge when i am near to a car when reversing. With a mpv it is difficult unless i use a 'nudge' method :D
