Does the width of a car include the rearview mirrors?
1 Answers
The width of a car does not include the rearview mirrors. The vehicle width is defined as: the distance between the two extreme points in the width direction of the car, which is the distance between the left and right protruding positions of the car body. The width of the car body does not include the extended width of the left and right rearview mirrors, meaning the protruding positions should be selected after the rearview mirrors are folded. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. 2. The limitation on vehicle height is to provide sufficient vertical clearance under bridges and overhead utilities such as cables, and to ensure the rollover stability of the vehicle. 3. The limitation on the total length of the vehicle affects the time taken for overtaking or for the vehicle to pass through another road or railway line.
