What should be confirmed about the mirrors during the inspection?

During the inspection of the mirrors, confirming that they are securely mounted and properly adjusted for visibility is crucial for ensuring safety while driving. Properly adjusted mirrors enable the driver to have a clear and comprehensive view of the surrounding environment, which is vital for making informed decisions, especially regarding other vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles. If the mirrors are not securely mounted, they could vibrate or shift during operation, impairing visibility and increasing the risk of an accident.

While it might be beneficial for mirrors to be tinted or of a larger size, these factors are less critical than ensuring that the mirrors are securely in place and optimally adjusted. Additionally, the requirement of replacing mirrors annually is not a standard practice but rather depends on the condition and usability of the mirrors over time. Thus, the focus during the inspection should be on the security and proper adjustment of the mirrors for the best possible visibility while driving.
