Which rear-view mirror must we carry by law if we place objects on the rear parcel shelf that reduce the field of vision?
Controls
Explanation
To ensure **good visibility** while driving, especially when placing objects on the rear shelf that may obstruct the field of vision, it is essential to have the **left and right exterior mirrors**.
- **Mirrors** are devices that allow the driver to see what is happening on the sides and behind the vehicle. This is crucial for safe maneuvers and to be aware of the surroundings while driving.
- In vehicles such as cars, vans, and trucks up to 3,500 kilos, it is mandatory to have an exterior mirror on the left side. Although the right mirror is not mandatory under normal conditions, it becomes essential when rear visibility is compromised, such as when placing objects on the rear shelf.
- The installation of **both exterior mirrors** (left and right) is necessary to compensate for the loss of visibility that occurs when the interior mirror cannot be used effectively due to obstructions.
Therefore, to maintain adequate visibility and comply with safety regulations, it is necessary to use both the **left and right exterior rearview mirrors** in these situations.
