Safety with rear view mirrors

There is safety when a vehicle has a rear view mirror. Through this rear view mirror, the driver can see the vehicles behind him. This is also useful when backing up the vehicle because the driver will see whether it is safe or not. Transportation authorities always require car owners and other vehicle operators to have a rear view mirror installed.

In recent years, a rear view mirror is commonly rectangular or square in shape. It is installed at the top of the windshield. Drivers look up to this mirror to check what is happening behind them. Nowadays, rear view mirrors come in different shapes, sizes and style. Nowadays, sophisticated cars have mounted rear view mirrors that look like a television monitor. These rear view mirrors reflect clearly what lies behind the car. This prevents accidents because once the driver realizes that a car is very close behind him, he will try not to stop or slow down abruptly. The rear view mirror also makes the driver realize when another car wants to overtake. The driver can them move to the side to give way to the other vehicle.

Drivers do not have eyes behind them so the rear view mirror serves as their eyes. They can see if there is something they will hit when they are backing down. The rear view mirror can also make drivers aware if another vehicle behind his own is doing something to harm him like intentionally moving too close so that if he stops, that vehicle could hit him. He can also see if another person riding another vehicle is trailing him and seems to have the intention to harm him.

One problem that drivers have is that during night time, the headlights of the vehicles behind them could cause a glaring light that destructs the sight of the driver. To prevent accidents caused by these occurrences, the rear view mirror of a car or any vehicle ca be adjusted or tilted so that it will not fully reflect bright lights from the rear. There is no specific way of adjusting the rear view mirror. It is highly dependent on the position which the driver finds comfortable and safe for him.
