  • Bus improvement avoids front tire and body damage
    Patent number: 5164700
    Abstract: In a motor vehicle, for example a bus, sight and sound signals cause the motor vehicle driver to move the motor vehicle steering wheel to avoid a collision of the front or rear tire with the curb adjacent which the driver is parking the motor vehicle, or about which the motor vehicle is turning. The avoidance of such tire/curb collisions dramatically extends the working life of the front and rear tires, particularly the front tire, and generally obviates repeated body repairs caused by proximity induced damages resulting when tires are drawn too close to a curb.
