You should check your rearview mirror frequently while driving to stay aware of the traffic behind you, especially before changing lanes, merging, or making turns. Additionally, it's important to glance at your rearview mirror when you approach intersections or when slowing down to stop. Regularly checking your rearview mirror helps maintain awareness of your surroundings and enhances overall safety on the road.
No matter what kind of load you are carrying, you must have a rearview mirror that allows you to see the highway at least 200 feet behind you.

The proper way to adjust your mirrors sounds like nonsense initially, but stick with me. The rearview mirror (the one mounted on the windshield) should be facing straight back. Your side mirrors should be adjusted so they barely overlap the view of your rearview mirror. An easy way to do this is to sit in your normal driving position, and without moving your butt lean as far left as you can. Ideally your head will be against the driver's window. Turn the mirror outward until you can barely see and part of your vehicle. (You should be able to see a small section). For the right side, again keep your butt planted and lean as far as you can to the right. Adjust that mirror until you can barely see any part of the vehicle. If you have adjusted them correctly, cars approaching from behind should move from your line of sight in the rearview mirror directly into your line of sight in either side mirror. This eliminates your blind spot.
No, you should not speed up when you see the flashing lights of an emergency vehicle in your rearview mirror. Instead, you should safely pull over to the side of the road and stop to allow the emergency vehicle to pass. Speeding up can create dangerous situations and impede the emergency response. Always prioritize safety for yourself and others on the road.
