Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

by Trevor Longcroft

The standard of driving mirror fitted to heavy goods vehicles in the UK sometimes leaves much to be desired. How the driver of a big artic can be expected to drive diligently with, in some cases, very small flat mirrors fitted to his vehicle escapes my comprehension. A number of accidents would never have occurred but for a blind spot so it's good news that J. Zanetti has developed a rear-view mirror said virtually to 'eliminate the blind spot.

The mirror comprises two convex glasses (lenses) set at a predetermined angle to each other in a mirror case, The outer lens is the normal driving mirror giving the conventional rear vision while the inner, narrower lens — with a slightly larger curvature than the outer lens — covers the blind spot and wider areas to the side and rear.

The mirror case is well made and each lens is 3mm thick. A damaged lens can be removed by first peeling off the outer support beading. The replacement lens is fitted and the outer beading replaced.

The mirrors are available in three sizes and are made by J. Zanetti and Co, 277 Staines Road, Hounslow, Middx,
