Province Newspaper: Gadget Makes The Blind Spot Visible

Province Newspaper: 
Gadget Makes The Blind Spot Visible


On December 23, 2014, The Province Newspaper, a major metropolitan newspaper near Vancouver, Canada wrote a very educational and informative article on Smart Lite. The article written by columnist and 
trucker John Stirling  appeared in the "Trucker" Section of their newspaper.


The product invented by life long trucker Marty Vanderhoek is a breakthrough in commercial truck safety because for the first time a professional driver is able to utilise a device that allows him/her to determine with 100% accuracy a complete and total visual determination of what is or is not in the passenger side blind spot.

No other device or technology, prior to the Smart Lite, has given the operator the ability to make such a valid conclusion.






Marty Vanderhoek Talks About Smart Lite






About Smart Lite


60% of all truck accidents are directly contributed to the front end blind spot of commercial trucks. In North America alone over 5,000 deaths and 140,000 injuries occur annually. At Smart Lite we believe that those statistics are far too high.

What is Smart Lite? Smart Lite is designed to reduce crashes, to save lives and to reduce injuries. The system was designed by Marty Vanderhoek, a professional commercial truck driver with over 20 years experience in the industry. It is a simple, yet unique design that utilises simple mirror to mirror technology to completely expose the entire front end area of the truck to the driver from inside the cab. As a result. the device offers the driver a clear and unrestricted view of any vehicle, motorcycle, cyclist or pedestrian that could be in the front or blind spots or no zone area of the truck.

No high tech cameras, mirrors or unreliable beeper systems. With Smart Lite the driver instantly sees whatever is in the front and blind spot areas of the truck by a split second glance into the West Coast mirror.

About Marty Vanderhoek : Inventor of the Smart Lite 

Marty Vanderhoek is a life long trucker from Langley, B.C., Canada whose been at the wheel since 1975, from fish to fruit he’s pulled it all.

His 35 years experience behind the wheel has taught him the many dangers that truckers face on a daily basis. One area is that front end blind spot that plagues every truck driver. How on earth can you see that car or motorcycle that is running beside you and a little ahead of your door?. Essentially, you can't! Until Now....

Drawing upon his 35 years experience behind the wheel Marty invented the Smart Lite; A simple system which he says is “A breakthrough in commercial trucking that will save lives” According to Marty "The Smart Lite device is revolutionary in that it allows the operator to see what is occupying the space in that front end blind spot. Before Smart Lite there was no device or system that allowed the operator to make a 100% visual determination of what was beside him and a little ahead of his door. With Smart Lite that problem is now solved."

Indeed, this simple yet revolutionary safety device is already being hailed by commercial truckers for its simplicity and effectiveness. The device has already received an endorsement by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) as a safety feature that greatly improves trucker safety.

Marty Vanderhoek: Talks About Smart Lite: A Commercial Trucking Safety Device That Will Reduce Injuries And Save Lives

Smart Lite: A Breakthrough In Commercial Trucking That Will Save Lives

"Invented By A Trucker For Truckers"

Marty Vanderhoek the inventor of the Smart Lite 
talks about his unique invention that will save lives!


Back on August 17, 2014 the Vancouver Province Newspaper  wrote an article titled  Where Are You? I Can't See That You Are There . In that article the writer focused on the "front end blind spot" - a "dead zone" if you like - where pedestrians, cyclists and small vehicles seem to "disappear" from sight from the operator of a large 18 wheeler. 

It is a zone where death and injuries are just waiting to happen!

Marty Vanderhoek is a professional truck driver with over 30 years experience driving the big rigs. His experience and knowledge led him to invent a simple, yet unique device called Smart Lite; A  Breakthrough In Commercial Trucking That Will Save Lives.

This simple, yet unique device now allows commercial truck drives to see what they could not see before - what if anything is in that "front end blind spot".

As Marty states in the following video "When people see a large commercial truck with all the mirrors and cameras they assume that the operator can see everything that is around him, well, this is just not true"  

That is until now - With Smart Lite.  

Watch and Listen to Marty's Story.

What Is Smart Lite? An Open Letter By Marty Vanderhoek The Inventor Of Smart Lite

What Is Smart Lite?

"A Breakthrough In Commercial Trucking That Will Save Lives"

An Open Letter By Marty Vanderhoek: The Inventor Of Smart Lite

December 3, 2014


My name is Marty Vanderhoek. I am the creator and inventor of a commercial truck safety product called Smart Lite. Smart Lite is a commercial truck safety product that virtually eliminates the front end blind spots that professional drivers of large trucks are plagued with on a daily basis.

As a professional driver for most of my life I can admit to a front end blind spot accident in Seattle Washington and I can also attest to the countless number of close calls I’ve had over the 30 years of my professional driving career.

Statistics prove that over 60% of all semi trailer truck accidents are directly related to the front end blind spots of large commercial vehicles. This is the area at the front of the truck on both the left and right side of the trucks front fenders.

In North America alone over 5000 deaths and 140,000 injuries occur annually due to big truck front end blind spots.

When most people see large trucks these days that are covered with mirrors and sometimes cameras they automatically assume that the driver can see anything at the front of the truck, down at the sides or behind the truck.

Unfortunately this is not true.

If a smaller vehicle, pedestrian, motorcycle or cyclist is in a certain position beside the truck and just forward enough of the door the truck driver does not know for certain that something is in that particular area of the truck known as the blind spot or no zone. Because the driver of the truck is sitting so high in the cab the driver cannot see that front end area even with all of the mirrors attached to the truck.

Smart Lite utilises mirror to mirror technology to completely eliminate these front end blind spots for professional drivers. All large trucks have side mirrors that a driver uses to view everything beside and behind the truck. But although the driver can see behind or beside his or her truck the driver still cannot always see everything that is forward of the doors on the truck where the side mirrors are mounted. The driver cannot see any smaller vehicle, cyclist or pedestrian that would be beside the truck and in the surrounding area of the trucks front fenders.

Smart Lite is mounted on both sides at the rear and at the top of a drivers truck. This is the place where the trucks reverse or back up lights are typically mounted on semi trailer trucks.

Smart Lite is a replacement for the original back up lights that most trucks are equipped with but can also be installed as a new feature on a truck if the trucks reverse lights are mounted somewhere else on the truck.

Smart Lite is manufactured with a back up light or turn signal on one side and a convex mirror on the opposite side. After a driver installs a set of Smart Lites he or she will be set for much safer and rest assured driving. From the cab of the truck a driver now simply needs to just take a split second glance through the side mirror of the truck and back to the mirror built into Smart Lite.

The view he or she now sees through the Smart Lite mirror is anything and everything that could possibly be hidden in the surrounding blind spot or no zone area of the truck. Smart Lite uses a very simple technology but there has never been any mirror or camera system developed that works as well as Smart Lite for giving professional drivers the comfort, assurance and warning of any vehicle, cyclist or pedestrian that could be hidden in the no zone area or blind spot of the trucks front end on either the left or right side .

Of the over 200 professional drivers that were chosen to evaluate and test Smart Lite not one of these drivers would ever again want to drive a semi trailer truck without a set of Smart Lites installed on his or her truck.

The comfort and assurance Smart Lite offers of always knowing what could be hiding in the front end blind spots of a drivers truck is something that will save tens of thousands of lives and hundreds of thousands of injuries around the world every year.

As a life long professional driver and the creator of Smart Lite I truly believe that Smart Lite should be found on every commercial truck around the world. I’m as proud and gratified as anyone could ever be to be given the opportunity to make our roads and highways around the world safer for everyone that shares them.

Truly yours, 
Marty Vanderhoek

A Big Rig's Worst Nightmare: The Passenger Door Blind Spot

A Big Rigs Worst Nightmare: The Passenger Door Blind Spot

The Death Zone: Cyclists, Motorcycles and Small Cars 

The death zone, that's what truckers call it. It's that area located on the big rigs passenger side where motorcycles, small cars and cyclists are hidden from view from the operator. In these instances, It seems that it doesn't matter how the operator adjust the mirrors and works the angles; it's just the physical angle of the spot that makes it impossible to detect smaller objects in that space. 

On August 14, 2014 the Vancouver Province Newspaper published an article in their driving section titled "Where Are You? I Can't See You There". The article was written by a commercial truck driver who discussed his personal experiences in dealing with moving objects in the area which he called the "death zone."

According to the author of the article  "bicycles or motorcycles are so skinny, [that] my mirrors cannot see [them]. [Their] vehicles needs to be further back and almost on the painted lane markers before I can see them. But no. They are dead centre, behind me. Blind spot. The death zone." 

He continued, "cyclists and motorcycles like to get a free ride by tucking in close and letting the vortex from my trailer suck them down the road. One tap of the brakes on my six axles, and it's a messy time for that two wheeler."  




At Smart Lite We Understand!

At Smart Lite, we understand the deadly consequences that await those who are caught in the 'dead zone'. We also understand the position of the operator and the difficulty that he or she has in determining if anyone or anything is in that zone.
