Can anyone tell me what the legal status is regards mirrors, do you need to have both extended mirrors on the car for towing or can just one be used, i am sure you must have one on with sides of the car
There is a legal requirement to have an adequate view behind - "adequate" isn't defined in law but a straightforward definition is that you need to be able to see BOTH rear corners of the caravan - if you need one on the driver's side you'll need one on the nearside.
Towing mirrors aren't expensive, particularly compared to the cost of a caravan, why compromise safety?
