Before a trip, you adjust the inside rearview mirror. Texas law sets a minimum view for the required mirror. How far behind your car must it let you see the highway?
Correct answer: 200 feet to the rear
Why
A 200-foot view lets you see a fast vehicle behind you before you slow down, stop, change lanes or back up. Adjust the mirror so that it frames the whole rear window before you start to drive, not while the car moves. Keep cargo low so that it does not block this view, and also use your side mirrors and a head check, because mirrors have blind spots.
