How to Adjust Mirrors for Driving Test Subject 2?
2 Answers
Methods for adjusting mirrors in Driving Test Subject 2 are as follows: 1. Left side mirror. You can use the ground horizon as a reference point, first adjust based on the center line of the mirror, for example, "sky and ground each occupying half," then adjust the left and right view of the mirror so that the car body occupies one-fourth of the mirror surface, until you can fully observe the road conditions. 2. Right side mirror adjustment. Since the driver's seat is on the left, it is harder to grasp the situation on the right side of the car. Therefore, when adjusting the up and down position of the right side mirror, the ground should occupy two-thirds of the mirror surface, allowing you to see the wheel arch (the protruding part above the wheel, curved like an eyebrow), while the left and right position should be adjusted so that the car body occupies one-fourth of the mirror surface.
A few days ago while teaching at the driving school, I often reminded students that adjusting rearview mirrors in Subject 2 directly determines the accuracy of reference points. After sitting properly in the driver's seat, don't rush to move - first adjust the seat to your usual practice position, a step many people overlook. Then adjust the left mirror: position the car body to occupy one-quarter of the mirror surface, with sky and ground each taking half, but the key is to see the left rear wheel's contact point with the ground. The right side requires more precision - similarly keep the car body at one-quarter, but the ground should occupy two-thirds, and you must fully see the rear door handle. I've seen students who didn't tighten the screws properly, causing the mirror to shift halfway through the test. Remember: after adjustment, verify the position using reference objects in the test area, like checking if the corner of the parking space aligns with a specific area in the mirror. Readjust every time you get in the car - rearview mirrors are like your eyes and must be absolutely precise.
