Explanation
Drivers are required to have outside rear-view mirrors installed on both sides of their vehicle when towing a trailer large enough to obstruct their view through the inside rear-view mirror. This is to ensure that they have an adequate view of the road and traffic around them. Without these mirrors, it can be challenging to see behind and beside the trailer, which can increase the risk of accidents or collisions.
