What is the optimal position to adjust the rearview mirror for Subject 3?
2 Answers
For Subject 3, adjust the rearview mirror so that the door handle is at the intersection of the 'midpoint vertically and the one-third line near the vehicle side.' Here are the relevant details: 1. Left and right position adjustment: Generally, you should not see yourself in the central rearview mirror, while the vertical position should place the distant horizon at the center of the mirror. 2. Adjustment key points: Keep the horizon level in the middle and position your left ear on the left edge. This means placing the distant horizon along the centerline of the central rearview mirror and then adjusting left and right so that the image of your right ear appears at the left edge of the mirror. 3. Friendly reminder: Rearview mirrors are crucial for driving, and proper adjustment helps reduce blind spots. This is essential for achieving good results in the Subject 3 exam.
I pay special attention to rearview mirror adjustment while driving, as it directly relates to test safety and daily driving. When adjusting the interior rearview mirror, ensure a full view of the rear windshield with the sky and ground each occupying half of the field of vision. The key to adjusting the side mirrors lies in minimizing blind spots—position the horizon between the vertical midpoint and one-third of the mirror height, with only a quarter of the car body visible. This setup allows you to see the curb during parallel parking and clearly observe approaching vehicles when changing lanes. Remember to adjust the mirrors only after fixing your seating position, and never reach out to adjust them while driving during the test, as it will result in point deductions. Properly adjusted rearview mirrors give you more confidence when changing lanes and overtaking.
