Right wing mirror been knocked off... Is it illegal to drive without it??

[flamebat]

I know you don't need the left one, but what about the right?

DH insists its illegal... I can't remember so am believing him.

He wants to nick my car tomorrow though, so if its not illegal, I will be happy

I thought it was only the left one you have to have

Passenger's side got knocked off before the last MOT and we didn't have to have it replaced....

someone popped our left one out and FIL (mechanic) says it's illegal.

How did it pass then?? And how have we not been stopped by various police checks that we have passed in the last few months???

As I have posted elsewhere my brother who's a mechaninc says it's illegal too

I dunno how you managed to get it thru MOT.. where you wearing that low cut top again?

Guess I'll have to wear the same top when trying to get mirrors!!!!

That's what your name is!!!!!!!!!!!

I like to post lots and get a cross section

according to a policeman friend you have to have 2 methods of looking behind you to be legal. I had damaged the mirror on my car and wanted to know if I could drive it. Mine was the passenger mirror but can't remember if I told him that or not.

Could check with the AA?

AFAIK, it is not illegal. I was told by a policeman that you only have to have 2 mirrors on a car. He didn't specify which ones though.

Oops, cross-posted with Tatt

ok i may well be completly wrong but i thought you had to have 2 mirrors?

(whoch included the rear view mirror)

A good friend of mine has a car that since hes owned it has NEVER had the left mirror and its past several MOTs

Will be car-less then!!!

The joys this week of phoning to get another 2 mirrors (might as well get em both done while I'm at it )
