What are the distances for viewing the rear car in the right side mirror?
1 Answers
When the rear car occupies 1/3 of the area in the right side mirror, the distance is approximately 15 meters. When the rear car occupies half of the right side mirror, the distance is about 10 meters. When the rear car occupies half of the right side mirror, this indicates the rear car is very close, and it is not advisable to perform turning maneuvers. Function of rearview mirrors: The rearview mirror is one of the important safety components of a motor vehicle's body, used to observe the road conditions behind the car during reversing and to monitor the surroundings while driving. For the convenience of the driver and to prevent traffic safety accidents, ensuring personal safety, all countries mandate that vehicles must be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all mirrors must be adjustable in direction. Classification of rearview mirrors: There are mainly two types of rearview mirrors in vehicles: one is a flat mirror, which, as the name suggests, has a flat surface, similar to typical household mirrors, providing an image 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 a convex mirror, which has a spherical surface with varying radii of curvature. Its image is smaller than what the naked eye sees 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.
