car mirror

Driver's backward view

A car mirror is any mirror on a vehicle that helps the driver see areas not directly visible.

The rearview mirror mounts inside, showing what's behind through the rear window.

Side mirrors (or wing mirrors) attach to the exterior, covering blind spots: Check your car mirrors before changing lanes.

Adjusting car mirrors properly is basic driving safety.
