Reversing Hologram

When I'm leaning backwards around the seat with one hand on the wheel, I can't really see which way the back end of the car is pointing except by experimental use of the go pedal. Solution: Aquire two of those infinite-tunnel-of-lights mirrors that you get in the better class of random novelty shop, place them on either end of the trunk shelf, and half-silver inside the back window. With the lights switched on, parallel floating strips of light will be projected out into space behind the car, allowing for quick and easy slotting in to almost-big-enough gaps.

A similar approach can be used to add holographic sights for front mounted weapon systems.

       Ah. Gun sights so you can *make sure* their dead.   

       Dammit. They're. They are.

       You could get one of those clown cars which has a steering wheel in the front and the back. But you'd have to wear a red nose and big shoes to be allowed to drive it.

       I thought this was going to be a perfect hologram of the front of your car which would be projected at the back of your car when you were reversing to make it look (to other road users) like you were driving forwards. Never mind.

       Angel: If you spend enough of your time behind the wheel in reverse that your steering ability is equally developed in both directions, I can only suggest that you leave that particular city, or campaign for a public rapid transport system.
