Question 7601

Is a passenger car allowed to be driven if its left outside rearview mirror is broken?

  1. No, when the driver cannot see the traffic behind the vehicle.
  2. Only if the vehicle has an inside rearview mirror.
  3. Yes, because the left outside rearview mirror is not required.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, when the driver cannot see the traffic behind the vehicle.

No. The left exterior rearview mirror is required on a passenger car and shows you what is coming from behind on your left. You must not drive with it broken, even if you still have the interior mirror.
