& WARNING Risk of accident due to mis‐

The outside mirrors reflect objects on a
smaller scale. The objects in view are in fact
closer than they appear.
As a result, you may misjudge the distance
between you and the road user driving behind
you, e.g. when changing lanes.
Therefore, always look over your shoul‐
#
der in order to ensure that you are
aware of the actual distance between
you and the road users driving behind
you.
