If the luggage reduces visibility through the rear window, which mirrors are mandatory?
Controls
Explanation
To ensure **good visibility** while driving, especially when luggage obstructs the view through the rear window, it is essential to have the **appropriate mirrors**.
- In vehicles such as cars, vans, and trucks that can carry up to 3,500 kilograms, it is mandatory to have an **exterior mirror on the left side** and another **interior mirror** in the central part of the vehicle. Although the right exterior mirror is recommended, it is not mandatory under normal conditions.
- However, when visibility through the rear window is obstructed, such as when carrying luggage, it becomes **mandatory** to have **both exterior mirrors**, one on each side of the vehicle. This allows the driver to see what is happening on both sides and behind the vehicle, compensating for the lack of direct rear visibility.
Therefore, in situations where the rear window does not offer visibility, it is necessary to have **both exterior mirrors** to ensure safe driving.
