How to Judge the Distance of the Rear Car When Reversing Using Rearview Mirrors?
1 Answers
When reversing, the rearview mirror can be divided into four parts, with the outer 1/4 being the danger zone and the inner 3/4 being the safety zone. When the rear car occupies 1/3 of the right rearview mirror, the distance is approximately 15 meters. When the rear car occupies half of the right rearview mirror, the distance is about 10 meters. When the rear car occupies half of the right rearview mirror, the distance is very close, and turning operations are not advisable. Specific details are as follows: 1. Judging the distance of the rear car using the interior rearview mirror: If the lower edge of the rear car's tires is visible, the distance between the rear car and the front car is about 20 meters. At this distance, the safe speed is approximately 25 km/h. If the upper edge of the rear car's headlights is visible, the distance from the rear trunk to the rear car is about 3.5 meters. If the junction between the rear car's hood and the front windshield is visible, the distance from the rear trunk to the rear car is 1 meter. If the horizontal one-third of the rear car's front windshield is visible, it is very close. 2. Judging the distance of the rear car using the right rearview mirror: If the rear car occupies half of the rearview mirror and only half of its body is visible, the distance is very close. You should maintain your current lane and avoid turning. 3. Judging the distance of the rear car using the left rearview mirror: If the rear car's body has entered the danger zone to the left of the dotted line in the rearview mirror, it indicates that the distance is very close, and turning is not advisable at this time.
