ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to safety fender trims mounted vertically on fender flanges at the motor vehicle wheel openings which not only perform improved water splash arrest and mud guard functions, but, with motor vehicles of increasingly varying widths on the roads, the trims primarily augment night driving safety particularly for the user, as well as others. Light reflective disc targets are bonded to fender trim extensions on the user car to reflect rearwardly, forwardly, or preferably both rearwardly and forwardly, the head light beams of other vehicles to pinpoint the presence of the user car in traffic, its width, and whether it is moving or parked. These disc targets reduce flashing reflected glare by diffusing the incident parallel ray beams reflected, not only to widen the visibility for others over a wide viewing angle, but also to reduce glare and sharpen perception and discrimination by the reduced intensity of the reflections to all cars for assisting others in perceiving the presence, size and distance and orientation of the user vehicle.
