How to Adjust Rearview Mirrors Most Appropriately?

For the left side mirror, position the horizon at the center line of the mirror, then adjust the edge of the vehicle body to occupy one-fourth of the mirror's image. For the right side mirror, place the horizon at two-thirds of the mirror's height. Key points for adjusting the center rearview mirror: align the horizon horizontally in the middle and position your left ear's reflection at the left edge of the mirror. Move the mirror left or right until the image of your right ear just appears at the left edge of the mirror. It is even better to replace the interior rearview mirror with a convex mirror, as it provides a much wider field of view, allowing you to clearly observe the rear of the vehicle. Additionally, avoid placing large items near the rear window to prevent obstructing the view through the interior rearview mirror.

I pay special attention to safety details when adjusting the rearview mirrors. For the left mirror, position the horizon in the center with about a quarter of the car body visible. This setup allows you to see vehicles behind while also monitoring the road surface. The right mirror is farther away with a larger blind spot, so adjust it to show about two-thirds of the ground and a quarter of the car body to avoid scraping the curb when reversing. The interior rearview mirror should be aligned directly with the center of the rear window, ensuring a full view of the entire rear window. Always adjust the seat position before setting the mirrors, as changing your seating position can disrupt your field of vision. Even with perfectly adjusted mirrors, always glance over your shoulder to check blind spots before changing lanes—I've seen too many accidents caused by relying solely on mirrors. In rainy conditions, activating the rearview mirror heating function early on is particularly effective.

Are There No Street Lights on Highways?

Highways generally do not have street lights installed except for important bridge surfaces and tunnels. When driving on highways, it is necessary to use vehicle lights properly to ensure driving safety. During normal driving, turn on the night lights and width indicator lights. If there are no vehicles ahead, you can appropriately turn on the high beams to observe the road conditions. Precautions for driving on highways at night: 1. Familiarize yourself with various indicator lights on the vehicle: When driving at night, you need to understand the car's lights and pay attention to their positions, including which lights to use in different environments. Use light changes to alert vehicles in front and behind to avoid traffic accidents on the highway. 2. No speeding: Driving speeds on highways are already relatively fast, and with obstructed vision at night, the safety risks are higher, making traffic accidents more likely. 3. Maintain a safe following distance: Due to the high speeds on highways, drivers need to control the distance and keep a safe gap. Rear-end collisions are a common type of traffic accident on highways, mainly caused by poor distance control. 4. Stay away from large trucks: There are many large trucks on highways. When encountering them, avoid driving side by side with large trucks.
