During driving, how frequently should the rearview mirrors be consulted?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 'Regularly while driving'. Observation is the first step in road safety. Mirrors should not be checked only when performing a maneuver (such as overtaking or turning); they must be consulted regularly and briefly to maintain 'panoramic vision' and situational awareness of what is happening around the vehicle at all times. As a general rule, on urban roads and in heavy traffic, they should be checked more frequently (every 5-10 seconds) than on clear highways (every 10-15 seconds). Checking them only when essential is a serious error that prevents anticipating hazards.
