How to Judge the Distance of an Approaching Car from the Rearview Mirror?
1 Answers
Here’s how to judge the distance of an approaching car using the side rearview mirror: 1. When the approaching car fills the entire side rearview mirror, the distance between the two cars is 3 meters. At this point, the distance is very close, and changing lanes would be extremely dangerous. 2. When the approaching car fills half of the side rearview mirror, the distance between the two cars is 7 meters. During daily driving at slower speeds, this distance allows for lane changes. However, at higher speeds or on highways, attempting to overtake or if the front car brakes suddenly, this distance can easily lead to an accident. 3. When the approaching car fills two-thirds of the side rearview mirror, the distance is 5.5 meters. In daily driving, this distance is relatively safe. 4. When the approaching car fills one-third of the side rearview mirror, the distance is 10.5 meters. Under normal driving conditions, this distance is generally safe. However, on highways or at higher speeds, extra caution is still needed when changing lanes.
