What is the Optimal Angle for Motorcycle Rearview Mirrors?
1 Answers
Motorcycle rearview mirrors should be adjusted so that one mirror allows the rider to see directly behind them, while the other mirror provides a view of the three-quarters rear area. Functions of rearview mirrors: 1. Checking mirrors during emergency braking: When an emergency situation ahead requires sudden braking, observe the rearview mirrors to check for closely following vehicles. Adjust braking intensity based on the distance from the vehicle ahead. 2. Monitoring rear traffic conditions: Frequent lane changes are necessary while riding. Before changing lanes, signal in advance, then use the center rearview mirror to assess the situation behind. Change lanes only after confirming it is safe. If a vehicle behind shows intention to change lanes, yield appropriately.
