Your vehicle must have at least one rearview mirror that provides a view of the highway at least how many feet to the rear?

The requirement for a vehicle to have at least one rearview mirror that offers a view of the highway at least 200 feet to the rear is grounded in ensuring safe driving practices. A rearview mirror providing a clear view at this distance allows the driver to be aware of traffic conditions behind them, facilitating safer lane changes and merges.

By having a rearview mirror that meets this standard, drivers can make informed decisions based on the proximity and speed of vehicles approaching from behind, which is crucial for preventing accidents. This regulation is designed to enhance the overall safety of all road users by promoting better visibility and awareness while driving.
