Is it useful to install a small round mirror on the car rearview mirror?

Installing a small round mirror on the car rearview mirror is useful. Here is the relevant introduction about small round mirrors: Functions of small round mirrors: The small round mirror for car rearview is a tool to ensure driving safety, mainly by using a convex lens to increase the driver's viewing angle. At the same time, the small round mirror is also an ideal reversing aid. The main function of installing a small round mirror on the car rearview mirror is to eliminate the blind spot on the right rear side of the vehicle, and it also facilitates observing the position of the right rear wheel and the distance to adjacent vehicles when parking. Types of small round mirrors: There are flat small round mirrors with non-adjustable bases and angled small round mirrors with 360-degree rotatable and adjustable bases.

I've been driving for over a decade and find small round mirrors particularly practical. They're especially helpful during parallel parking, allowing me to see the distance between the rear wheels and the curb to avoid rim scratches. They also reduce blind spots when turning, particularly for electric vehicles on either side of the car that were previously hard to see completely - now the small mirror reveals them instantly. Just be careful about adjusting the angle; I prefer mounting it at the bottom right corner of the exterior mirror to maintain normal visibility. Make sure to clean the mirror surface thoroughly before installation to prevent falling off. The image may appear slightly distorted after prolonged use, but you'll get used to it. Overall, spending just over ten dollars to improve safety is well worth it.

When I first got my driver's license, I was always afraid of scratching the car while reversing. A friend recommended installing blind spot mirrors. After trying them, I found they're truly a godsend for beginners - they clearly show tire positions that regular rearview mirrors can't display. When parallel parking, I don't need to stick my head out the window to check; I can align with the curb just by looking at the small mirror. Now after two years of driving, though my spatial awareness has improved significantly, I still prefer using them for assistance. The only drawback is that the image in the small mirror vibrates at highway speeds, but it's perfectly adequate for city commuting. I recommend choosing models with universal adjustment - the 360-degree rotatable ones offer more flexibility.

The small round mirror significantly improves visibility. I drive my kids to school every day, where the roads near the school entrance are narrow and crowded with cars. After installing the small round mirror on the rearview mirror, I can clearly see the blind spots at the rear of the car, making reversing much more reassuring. The installation position matters—the lower left corner of the outer rearview mirror is suitable for viewing the left rear wheel, while the lower right corner is for the right side. I installed both, costing less than twenty yuan. Be careful not to buy ones that are too large, as they may obstruct the original rearview mirror's field of view. Clean the mirror with a soft cloth dampened with water; avoid using alcohol as it can corrode the coating. Although high-end cars have reversing cameras, the instant visibility provided by small round mirrors is irreplaceable.
