Mirror is active safety device, overtaking, turning back when the car is used to observe the situation, the image of the driver known as "eyes." However, when used as rear view mirror is too much trouble, often in misoperation. How can the proper use of car rear view mirror? Experts made the following recommendations:

First, equipment: a general model of the car is rear-view mirror are flat or single curvature of the convex mirror, generally less than the width of view, there are blind spots for traffic safety. According to statistics, due to traffic accidents caused by blind spot mirror about 30% in China, the United States accounted for about 20% and 70% of highway traffic lane change occurs is due to blind spot mirrors produced. To this end, the traffic control department suggested that the vehicle owner on the more than 8 tons of large goods vehicles on the right mirror for safety modifications, install the "combination of multi-angle rear view mirror" or "multi-vision mirror surface large", to improve vehicle safety and technical performance.

Second, use: car driving, road traffic is always in a dynamic change process. Driver in the observation, collection of traffic information, sometimes just noticed the traffic situation in front of, without attention to the sides and back of the case. In the absence of the correct use of mirrors observation error estimates are often made to take the wrong action measures. Light vehicles are affecting the normal traffic, in serious cases lead to traffic accidents. Therefore, the driving need to pay attention to the following: Adjust the rear-view mirror before driving position and angle. Traffic, due to the vehicle vibration, easy to cause rear-view mirror position and angle, which should be observed and timely adjustment. Some older drivers suggested that the angle rear view mirror to see the rear door handle is appropriate.

In general road parking, starting, overtaking, turning, turning around so driving route will be changed, first give the corresponding traffic signal at the same time we must observe rearview mirror, rear light of experience to judge the speed and then take measures to prevent when a sudden surprise.

Through the market, traffic intersections and other places where people are more to slow the road, to observe the rear parking mirror, and maintain the necessary non-motor vehicles or pedestrians, the horizontal spacing. Up truck in the highway, not only the necessary attention and keeping a safe distance, but also through the rearview mirror observation, determine the following distance behind the vehicle, be aware of when dealing with the situation in order to avoid rear-end accident. Through the intersection when the traffic conflict more, to reduce speed, observe the situation on both sides of pedestrians and vehicles, under the premise of ensuring the security pass. In the predictable braking before the car rear-view mirror to observe, pay attention to the back of the vehicle position and relative speed, brake and then decided to take measures to prevent the brake when the rear-end collision.
