8.3.3. External rear-view mirrors

The driver's mirror provides the wide sector of the review and consists of two zones (external and internal) with various curvature of the 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 when changing a lane.
