No Far more Blind Spots

Measuring 123/four inches wide by 33/four inches higher, and with left and appropriate mirrors every single measuring 51/two inches wide by three inches higher, the safety mirror attaches to a traditional driver-side window visor. The driver functions hinges to adjust each and every mirror as required and, in that way, views proximate left- and right-side traffic. thumbnail
