Correct answer
the left-hand rear-view mirror is mandatory and the right-hand one is optional.
The left exterior rear-view mirror is mandatory and the right mirror is listed as optional in the general table in Annex III. Mirrors must allow observation of traffic behind. Keep the devices required by the vehicle’s type approval; the right mirror being optional in that table does not authorise removing one required for the model.
