Question 5618

Are passenger cars required to have a left rearview mirror?

  1. Yes, it is required.
  2. No, it is optional.
  3. Only if the interior rearview mirror does not provide a complete view of the road.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, it is required.

Yes. Every passenger car must have a left exterior mirror, and no other mirror can replace it. The right mirror is the one whose requirement depends on the view through the interior mirror: it becomes required when the interior mirror does not give you a good view behind you.
