DDifficulty 3/5

A bus whose approval requires its main left-hand exterior rear-view mirror, with no approved alternative system replacing it, has lost that mirror. May it be driven normally in that condition?

Correct answer

No, under no circumstances.

No. The indirect-vision equipment required by its approval must remain complete, and the missing mandatory mirror must be repaired before normal driving. An interior or close-proximity mirror does not by itself replace the main left-hand exterior mirror: they provide different fields of view and functions. The question excludes an alternative system approved to fulfil that function.
