Correct adjustment of car mirrors plays an important role in ensuring safety on the road, says a driving instructor. Improperly adjusted mirrors can significantly reduce the field of vision, increasing the risk of accidents and collisions.
The interior rear-view mirror must provide a full view of the rear window. To achieve this, it is important to first adjust the position of the seat and then the mirror. Make sure that the mirror allows you to see what is happening behind the car and monitor the situation in the cabin.
Side mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the so-called blind zone. In the ideal position of the mirror, the driver should see a small part of his car and as much of the space behind him as possible. This is very important for safety when maneuvering, for example when changing lanes.
For parents traveling with children, we recommend using an additional mirror for the child. This mirror can be attached to the glass or sun visor so that you can always see your child in the back seat.
