What Position Should the Rearview Mirrors Be Adjusted to for Subject Two?
1 Answers
For Subject Two, adjust the rearview mirrors to the highest position where you can just see the rear door handle. This is particularly helpful for parallel parking, reversing into the garage, and the hill start test. Here are the relevant details: 1. For the left rearview mirror, adjust the vertical position so that the distant horizon is centered, and the horizontal position so that the car body occupies one-fourth of the mirror's surface. For the right rearview mirror, adjust the vertical position to show a larger area of the ground, about two-thirds of the mirror's surface, and the horizontal position similarly so that the car body occupies one-fourth. 2. Before starting, always fasten your seatbelt and adjust the seat (the seatback angle greatly affects the rearview mirror visibility). The front door handle should be at the one-third position of the mirror (closer to you), and half of the rear wheel should be visible.
