Driver's Side Mirror
The driver's side mirror is connected to the driver's side of the car's body. This mirror is a very important device, not for adjusting your make-up. It enables you, with a slight glance of the eye, to see places that you can't otherwise see without taking your eyes off the road. The mirror is adjusted by the driver to suit the necessary visibility position (position of the head). Sometimes the mirror must be manually adjusted outside the car. The mirror is also often controlled from the inside of car by a series of cables. The cables are connected to a "joystick" that allows you to tilt the mirror manually, or to an electrical motor that allows you to tilt the mirror by pushing a button. So if your mom, husband, wife, etc., is displeased with you for re-adjusting all the mirrors, remind them that you're just being a safe driver!
