What is the minimum mandatory number of rear-view mirrors a passenger car must have installed?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

For a passenger car (Permiso B), the General Vehicle Regulations establish that the minimum number of mandatory mirrors is two: the left exterior mirror and the interior mirror. It is important to note an exception: if the interior mirror does not allow for the required visibility (for example, due to rear window blinds, tinted glass, or cargo blocking the view), then the right exterior mirror becomes mandatory to replace the function of the interior one. Therefore, although the configuration may change (Left+Interior or Left+Right), the minimum quantity always remains two. Even though most modern cars have three, the third one (right) is optional if the interior one functions correctly.
