How to Judge the Distance of the Rear Car from the Right Rearview Mirror?
1 Answers
When the rear car occupies one-third of the right rearview mirror area, the distance is approximately 15 meters. When the rear car occupies half of the right rearview mirror, the distance is about 10 meters. If the rear car occupies half of the right rearview mirror, it indicates that the rear car is very close, and turning maneuvers are not advisable at this time. Function of Rearview Mirrors: Rearview mirrors are one of the essential safety components on a motor vehicle, used to observe the rear road conditions during reversing and to monitor the surroundings while driving. For the convenience of the driver, to prevent traffic accidents, and to ensure personal safety, all countries mandate the installation of rearview mirrors on vehicles, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable in direction. Classification of Rearview Mirrors: There are mainly two types of rearview mirrors on vehicles: one is the flat mirror, which, as the name suggests, has a flat surface similar to typical household mirrors, providing an image of the same size as seen by the naked eye. This type of flat mirror is commonly used as the interior rearview mirror. The other type is the convex mirror, which has a spherical surface with varying radii of curvature. It produces a smaller image than the naked eye but offers a wider field of view, functioning like a camera's "wide-angle lens." This type of convex mirror is commonly used as the exterior rearview mirror and the lower rearview mirror.
