Had someone in looking for some help with packaging design recently and once I saw the product thought "Hey, what a good idea!" so thought I'd share it with the Orgers...
The theory is simple - somewhere in your car (usually in some out of the way place) is your spare tyre. When/if you do eventually need it imagine how peeved you'd be if the thing was flat.
This product is a hose with a screw-on connector at one end which attaches to the spare tyre, the other end is put somewhere more accessible i.e. at the side of your boot, and on this end is screwed a pressure indicator with green (OK), yellow (small loss) and red (low) pressure indicator rings.
The idea is that whenever you open your boot you have a quick glance and ensure your pressure is OK - if it's not then you remove the pressure indicator, top up the pressure (at home or the garage, etc.), and then refit the indicator.
Now that to me seems a very simple solution to a potential problem. Even better it's being marketed at just £9.99 which I believe is a really good price.
Anyway, I liked it so much I got one myself (*thinks* must empty the boot & fit it now!).
If you want more information visit their website at www.spair-aware.co.uk (http://www.spair-aware.co.uk) and don't forget that it's a LOCAL innovation
