An additional nearside mirror on many modern vehicles helps the driver observe which of the following?

• A. The distance of the following vehicle
• B. The rear of the vehicle when reversing
• C. The front wheel in relation to the kerb
• D. The exhaust to check for emissions

Answer: (C)

An extra nearside mirror is there to show the front wheel and the area near the kerb on the driver’s side. This gives you a clear view of how close the front wheel is to the curb, helping you park accurately and avoid scraping the wheel or the body when pulling up alongside a curb or entering a tight space. It isn’t intended to judge the distance to a vehicle behind you, nor to view the rear of the car when reversing, and it isn’t used for checking exhaust emissions.
