Where are the car's rearview mirrors located?

The car's rearview mirrors are located on both sides of the vehicle body. Here is some related knowledge sharing about car rearview mirrors: 1. Function: When the driver sits in the cockpit, the visible field of view is about 260 degrees, with the remaining approximately 100 degrees being blind spots. However, car rearview mirrors are not only meant to reduce blind spots; when properly adjusted to the optimal position, they can facilitate and enhance driving. 2. Adjustment: Adjust the vertical angle so that the rearview mirror shows an equal split between sky and ground. Then adjust the horizontal angle so that the vehicle body occupies about 1/4 of the mirror's surface.
I also had trouble identifying the rearview mirror positions when I first started driving. Actually, there are three mirrors: two side mirrors mounted at the front edge of the doors - if you look out from the driver's side window, the one extending from the left door is the left mirror, and the right mirror is symmetrically positioned on the right door. There's also an interior rearview mirror hanging in the middle of the front windshield inside the car, which you can see by just looking up. Remember to adjust the side mirrors to show about one-quarter of the door handle - this way you can see approaching vehicles while maintaining awareness of your car's position. Last time, my friend thought the side mirrors were mounted on the hood, which turned out to be quite funny - in reality they're all located in the door hinge area.
