You have finished a towing trip and unhitched the trailer. What should you do with the extension towing mirrors?
- Leave them on for a wider view every day
- Angle them at the pavement
- Cover them with tape
- Remove them, as they are not needed without a trailerCorrect
Why?
Rule 98 of The Highway Code says you must fit towing mirrors if a trailer blocks your rearward view, and they must give a clear view down both sides. Once you are no longer towing you should remove them, because using them without a trailer can impair your view and is an offence.
