10 feet away?
There's a reason those 18 wheelers have signs on them that say "if you
can't see my mirrors, I can't see you."

Not using it (as you claim) is rendering it useless.

Yes, if you're speaking of a someone in a vehicle or if I am reversing and have been checking my mirrors throughout the maneuver the answer is still yes. There's a reason those 18 wheelers have signs on them that say "if you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you." That's correct. |
