Wing mirrors
6 Answers
Some bast@rd knocked off my passenger side mirror last night (and another 8 cars down the road). I have taken the mirror off (as it was hanging by a cord). I am obviously going to replace it, but have the option of driving 30 miles to get one and being charged �50 or buying one on the internet for �35.00 obviously I would prefer the latter but may need to drive the car in the next couple of days.
Question is, can I drive without that mirror as I have taken the housing / casing off. I believe that I only need to have the drivers side as well as the rear view mirror.
Can someone confirm please.

I believe a private car first used after August 1978 MUST be fitted with two mirrors. One internal and one mounted on the offside and both must be able to be used by the driver. So the answer is thatyou do need it, although I very much doubt you would fall foul of the law if you were stopped and you explained what happened.
