Controls
Explanation
To ensure **good visibility** and safety while driving, it is essential that certain vehicles have specific mirrors. In the case of **passenger cars, vans, and trucks** that can carry up to 3,500 kilos, it is mandatory to have an **exterior mirror on the left side**. This mirror is crucial because it allows the driver to see the traffic approaching from that side, which is fundamental for performing safe maneuvers such as lane changes or turns.
Although the right-side mirror is recommended, it is not mandatory. However, the left mirror is essential, and its absence compromises safety, so it is not permitted to drive without it.
