How to Judge Distance Using the Left Rearview Mirror?
1 Answers
Method for judging distance with the left rearview mirror: First, imagine a vertical line dividing the left quarter of the left rearview mirror from top to bottom. This line serves as the boundary - the left quarter is the danger zone, while the right three-quarters is the safe zone. When the body of the rear vehicle enters the danger zone on the left side of the mirror, it indicates the rear vehicle is extremely close to your car. When the rear vehicle's body approaches the imaginary line, at the boundary between the safe and danger zones, the distance between vehicles is approximately 9 meters. When the rear vehicle is positioned at the center or right side of the rearview mirror, the distance between vehicles is about 20 meters, which is the standard safe zone where normal turning maneuvers can be performed without issues.
