How to properly adjust the mirrors in the car?

The correct adjustment of the mirrors has a significant impact on safety - it depends on whether the driver can carefully observe the traffic situation. It is important to be attentive and make full use of the opportunities that they give in the mirror.

Drivers must fine-tune their mirrors so that visible images do not overlap too much and blind spots are as small as possible. It must also be remembered that every change in the position of the seat also requires an adjustment in the position of the mirror.

The easiest way to install a rear-view mirror - the driver should see only the rear window of the car. The mirror can be set for night driving to reduce the risk of glare, but must be reset when driving during the day.

When adjusting the side mirrors, a simple rule to remember is that in these mirrors we should see a small part of our car (for example, the tailgate handle) and as much space as possible behind our car. Thus, we minimize dead zones, having a reference point in relation to other cars. This is important because of the distance found in most mirrors. However, it is not enough to properly adjust the mirrors. You still have to use them. In the process of learning to drive, it is important to develop reflexes to look in mirrors as early as possible before starting a maneuver. If the driver has not been taught this, he should consciously start using the mirrors to their fullest and thus increase their safety on the road, experts advise.
