BDifficulty 2/5

Before driving a car, how should its exterior mirrors be adjusted?

Correct answer

To obtain a broad, clear view of the road behind and to the sides.

With the car stationary and after adjusting the seat and steering wheel, position them to obtain a broad, clear view of the road behind and to the sides. The DGT recommends angling the exterior mirrors outward to cover a wider area. Good adjustment reduces blind spots but does not guarantee eliminating them; check your surroundings before manoeuvring.
