Explanation
**Mirrors** are essential elements for **visibility** when driving. In the case of **passenger cars**, it is mandatory to have a **mirror on the left side** of the vehicle. This is because it provides a clear view of the traffic approaching from that side, which is crucial for safety when changing lanes or merging onto a road.
- The left mirror is always mandatory in passenger cars, vans, and trucks up to 3,500 kilos.
- Although the right mirror is recommended, it is not mandatory, unlike the left one.
- The requirement for the left mirror ensures that the driver always has a visual reference of the environment on their left, improving road safety.
Therefore, in passenger cars, the left mirror is a safety element that must always be present.
