8.3.3. External rear-view mirrors

The driver's mirror provides wide sector of the review and consists of two zones (external and internal) with various curvature of a reflecting surface. External and external zones are divided by the vertical line. The internal zone is a usual convex mirror while the external zone provides to the driver the increased sector of the review back. This combination allows to estimate better a road situation behind at lane change.
