2. Where a motor vehicle is not equipped with a rear window and rear side windows, or where it has a rear window and rear side windows, consisting of a material or component which, from the driver`s position, obstructs the driver`s rear view or renders those windows opaque, or where a motor vehicle pulls another vehicle, a trailer or load: the carriage of a load or object which hinders the driver`s consideration shall be mounted on each side of an exterior rear-view mirror arranged in relation to the driver`s position in such a way as to satisfy the visual requirements of subsection 1 of this section. Canada has mirror requirements that are essentially identical to those of the United States. All passenger cars must be equipped with a driver`s side exterior rear-view mirror. Passenger cars must also be equipped with an interior rear-view mirror that “provides the driver with a rearward field of vision that is measured at least 20 degrees horizontally backward from the projected viewpoint and extends to the horizon and includes a point on the road surface of not more than 60 m (200 feet) directly behind the vehicle.” If the interior rear-view mirror does not comply with these requirements, a side rear-view mirror shall be installed on the passenger side of the vehicle, opposite the driver`s side. Chapter 39-27 Motorcycle Equipment 39-27-10. Each motorcycle shall be equipped with at least one unit magnification mirror, which is securely attached to the handlebars and can be adjusted in an area that reflects an image that includes at least the horizon and road surface to the rear of the motorcycle. Such a mirror shall consist of a minimum reflective surface of ten square inches [64.52 square centimetres]. Not all mirrors should contain sharp edges or protrusions that can cause injury. Given Congress` mandate to improve vehicle reversibility, NHTSA`s preliminary assessment of previously known research seems to suggest that VR systems have greater potential to improve the vehicle`s reversing vision than sensor-based rear object recognition systems and rear-mounted convex mirrors. However, we consider it premature to restrict manufacturers` design options at this time. To this end, we ask the following questions and solicit feedback on our assessments of these technologies, as well as information on the feasibility of alternative approaches or systems.
815,235 Operation without rear-view mirrors; exceptions; Punishment. 1. A person commits the offence of driving without a rear-view mirror if he performs any of the following operations: (a) Driving or driving on motorways is a motor vehicle which is not equipped with a rear-view mirror or a device complying with the requirements of this Section. (b) is the owner of a motor vehicle and the vehicle drives or permits the vehicle to travel on a motorway if the vehicle is not equipped with a rear-view mirror or device meeting the requirements of this Section. 2. A rear-view mirror or reversing device shall comply with the requirements of this Section only if it allows the driver of the vehicle to have a clear and unobstructed view of the rear at all times and under all loading conditions that he can see any other vehicle approaching at least 200 feet at the rear on an open road. 3. This section shall not apply to the following vehicles: (a) Vehicles of special interest registered in accordance with roS 805.020 which were not equipped with rear-view mirrors at the time of their initial manufacture.
(b) road vehicles, steamrollers or agricultural tractors. (c) Older motor vehicles registered under OS 805.010 which were not equipped with rear-view mirrors at the time of their initial manufacture. (4) The offence described in this article, use without rear-view mirrors, is a Class C traffic offence. [1983 c.338 §493; 1985 c.69 §3] 55-9-305. — all motorised motorcycles and bicycles travelling on a motorway or public road in that State must be equipped with a rear-view mirror and footrests securely fixed for drivers and passengers of all motorised motorcycles and bicycles. [Laws 1968, Chap. 493, § 1; 1976, Chap. 758, § 3; T.C.A., § 59-937; Act 2005, Ch. 136, § 1.] NOTE: An interior mirror would meet all of the above requirements. If the vehicle is equipped with more than one rear-view mirror, only one, whether inside or outside, must meet all the requirements. Severability clause — 1977 ex.s.
c 355: See note to RCW 46.37.010. More and more vehicles in the United States are equipped with reverse video systems. These systems can allow a driver to see much of the area behind the vehicle through a video screen that shows the image of a video camera mounted at the rear of the vehicle. The images can be displayed to the driver via an existing screen in the vehicle, such as a navigation system or a multifunction display, or by adding an integrated display in the dashboard or interior rear-view mirror. (d) If the view is blocked by the interior rear-view mirror, two exterior rear-view mirrors are required. Vermont state law states that drivers must have a rear-view mirror in their car. Side mirrors are only needed when the view from the central mirror is blocked, but never without a side mirror. This section of the Code provides that no person may drive a motor vehicle on a Commonwealth highway if the vehicle is not equipped with a mirror that reflects to the driver a view of the highway for a distance of at least 200 feet from the rear of such a vehicle. No Commonwealth-registered motor vehicle designed and registered primarily for the carriage of passengers by road on public roads and manufactured after 1968 may operate on Commonwealth motorways unless it is equipped with at least one exterior rear-view mirror and at least one interior rear-view mirror which meets the requirements of this Article. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, no motor vehicle which does not have a rear window or rear window so obstructed as to prevent rear view by an interior rear-view mirror shall be equipped with an interior rear-view mirror if that power-driven vehicle is equipped with horizontally and vertically adjustable exterior rear-view mirrors which are mounted on both sides of the motor vehicle in such a way as to: that allow the driver of such a motor vehicle to have a view in reverse along both sides of such a motor vehicle for at least 200 feet.
