What is the requirement for rear view mirrors?

• A. No rear view mirrors required
• B. Exactly two rear view mirrors
• C. At least one rear view mirror
• D. A mirror on each handlebar end

Answer: (C)

Having a rear-view mirror is a safety requirement so you can see traffic behind you without turning your head. The rule is that you must have at least one rear-view mirror in working order, giving you a reliable view to monitor vehicles approaching from behind and to check before changing lanes or stopping.

This is why the best choice is that at least one rear-view mirror is required. The other options aren’t necessary: a mirror on both handlebars isn’t mandated, and having no mirrors or exactly two mirrors isn’t specified by the rule. You’re allowed to have more than one mirror, but the key requirement is that you possess at least one that provides a clear view behind you.
