Wing mirrors may need to be adjusted now and again to ensure they are in the right position for a driver to have a clear view of the road behind them.
Car wing mirrors in the correct position should enable a driver to see the widest possible view of the road behind. If a driver cannot see a lot when looking in the wing mirrors, they will need to be adjusted before even setting off on the road. A lot of drivers may get confused about how exactly they should adjust wing mirrors. By having the right knowledge and with a little practice, they will be able to avoid the risk of being involved in an accident.
When a driver looks in an interior rearview mirror, they should be able to see the rearview window of the car perfectly. If they cannot see the window then the mirror needs to be adjusted. The exterior mirrors should help a driver see as much of the road behind them as possible. Some drivers adjust them so they can see the sides of the car however this can very often create blind spots and may prevent them from seeing enough of the road to ensure they are driving safely. It is often better to adjust the mirrors so the driver can see a little beyond the sides of the car.
Drivers should place their heads against the window and adjust their mirrors until they can see a little beyond the side of the car. For the other side of the car, move across until the head is in the center of the car and look in the other mirror. If the driver cannot see the other side of the car in the mirror then it needs to be adjusted.
