What is a "wing mirror"?
A wing mirror is a mirror mounted on the exterior of a vehicle, typically on the door or side of the vehicle. It allows the driver to see areas behind and to the side of the vehicle, helping with visibility when changing lanes or reversing. Wing mirrors are essential for safety as they help prevent accidents by providing a clear view of other vehicles, pedestrians, or obstacles that may not be visible from the driver’s seat. They can be adjusted manually or electronically, and in modern vehicles, they are often equipped with additional features such as heating or blind-spot detection.
Example
