In passenger cars, which rearview mirror must be installed in all cases?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Vehicle Regulations, passenger cars must mandatorily carry two standard rearview mirrors: the left exterior and the central interior. However, the correct answer is the left one because it is the only one that can never be missing. The central interior mirror is mandatory, but there is an exception: if visibility through the rear window is obstructed (by cargo, sunshades, or the vehicle's structure), it can be substituted by the right exterior mirror. Therefore, the central and right mirrors are circumstantial, while the left one is an indispensable and permanent safety element.
