What does the inspector check on the vehicle's mirrors?

The vehicle inspector checks the condition and adjustment of the mirrors to ensure they are functioning properly and provide adequate visibility for the driver. The condition of the mirrors is crucial because any cracks, damage, or excessive wear can impair the driver's ability to see other vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles, creating safety hazards.

Adjustment is equally important because improperly positioned mirrors can result in blind spots or limited visibility, leading to accidents. By ensuring that the mirrors are in good condition and correctly adjusted, the inspector helps maintain safe driving conditions and complies with state regulations regarding vehicle safety.

While aspects like color and tint, position and size, and heated elements may be relevant in other contexts, they are not the primary focus of the inspection in terms of safety and functionality. The main goal is to ensure that mirrors meet the necessary standards for clear visibility and proper operation.
