subject: The Role of Rear View Mirrors [print this page] Car rear view mirror has outside rearview mirrors (left and right one) and the inner rearview mirror. Inside rearview mirror (some people call it "middle mirror")
Sometimes we want to drive in parallel. However in many cases, we can not see whether there is some cars behind our car by the front mirror in the left and right, as the angel is not suitable to allow us to observe. When some drive in parallel with us, their speed is much faster than ourself. However through this- rear view mirror, we can control it clearly at a glance.
Interior rear view mirror is very important for the observation car conditions and obstacles. The inside rear view mirror and the left & right mirror outside the car make up the observe area of a fan-shaped region. You can control the distance behind of the car after a few second's glance. For example, observe whether there is a heavy truck following you, whether there is some cars behind you are changing lanes to overtake, to facilitate you judge their reaction in advance. When reversing and braking, observed there is some vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles. There will be some great blind spots if you only observe the outside mirrors on the left and right. It is not wise that if you put some toys or other objects lying and cover the vision.
The distance is accurate observed by the car rear view mirror, outside rearview mirrors on both sides can increase the vision, which use a convex mirror, so that the distance between the car is further than the actual distance, it should be combined with the use of those three mirrors to ensure safety.
When it is raining, the rearview mirrors on both sides are not clear, you will find how useful the car rearview system is.
