Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. Clean them with a cloth or tissue before starting their journey.

The purpose of mirrors is to increase the drivers view to the rear and sides of the vehicle and to enable them to take into account all visible hazards. Proper use will enable drivers to make informed, correct and safer decisions. Drivers should ensure that all mirrors, including the exterior ones, are clean and properly adjusted at all times to ensure optimum view.
