If you've almost had an accident as a result of your automobile's blind spot, then you know the advantage of technology designed to increase safety. The Ford lineup's life-saving Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) can do exactly this. Using sensors on your car, BLIS can notice hazardous cars almost a dozen feet behind your vehicle's bumper and instantly switch on warning lights.

BLIS is also especially useful if you will need to back out of a tight parking space or your home driveway where young children or animals are often playing. 

When traveling this holiday season be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to get to your destination. You never want to be rushed when you are traveling. You should also expect delays and heavier traffic on the roads. You may also run into bad weather so the more time you leave yourself, the better.
