A2Difficulty 3/5

Before setting off, while seated in your normal riding position, how should you adjust a motorcycle’s two mirrors?

Correct answer

To see behind and to the sides well from the normal riding position.

Adjust both to easily observe behind and to the sides from your normal riding position, reducing blind spots. Each covers its own side: they need not show the same image and neither has priority. Adjustment does not eliminate every blind spot; supplement with direct observation when necessary and safe, while maintaining control and attention to your path.
