Vehicle safety and your input

[FLASHOVER05]

I was wondering if anyone has approached any manufacturers with safety concerns or safety ideas on Apparatus. The reason why I ask is because I always get some crazy idea in my head now and then that might create a better inovation....

Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas????

I had one, and I see it's in use now. About 5 years ago when talking to a truck rep, I asked why they couldn't put the jacobs brake toggle switch on the stearing wheel, similar to cruise control. It made sent to me, as every truck puts the switch in a little different position. Why not standardize it on the wheel, with no need to take your hand off? Anyhow, I saw it on a truck earlier in the year... hey where's my cut?

I remember seeing one of the companies out there introduced the integration of all accessories needed while enroute to an emergency.
