For which of the following options should rearview mirrors NOT be used?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The primary function of rearview mirrors is to provide visibility of the traffic and environment behind and to the sides of the vehicle, being fundamental for safety when performing maneuvers (MSM Rule: Mirror, Signal, Maneuver). They should not be used to check if the turn signals (blinkers) are working; this check is performed via the telltale lights or acoustic signals located on the vehicle's instrument panel (dashboard). Trying to see the reflection of the indicator light itself in the mirror distracts attention and is not a reliable method.
