What is required when towing a trailer that obstructs your inside rearview mirror?

Have an outside rearview mirror installed on the driver's side
Have an outside rearview mirror installed on the opposite side
Have outside rearview mirrors installed on both sides
Have a person in the vehicle to guide you

The correct answer is: Have outside rearview mirrors installed on both sides

When towing a trailer that obstructs your inside rearview mirror, it is essential to have outside rearview mirrors installed on both sides of your vehicle. This requirement is in place to enhance safety and visibility while driving. The mirrors provide a wider field of vision, allowing the driver to see vehicles and obstacles that may be located alongside or behind the trailer. Installing mirrors only on one side could create significant blind spots, increasing the risk of accidents, especially during lane changes or turns. Ensuring that both outside mirrors are present and functional helps in navigating safely while towing, maintaining awareness of surrounding traffic, and facilitating safer maneuvers.
