Is it illegal to drive without a passenger side mirror? on a van?

Question

I need to use my moms van tomorrow to go to a meeting and an event, She haves a Driver side mirror and an Interior mirror. Can we be pulled over?

Answer 1

No, it's not illegal as long as you have a driver's side mirror and a windshield mounted rear view mirror.  However, it's best to get it fixed as soon as you can because this give the police a reason to stop you and claim a routine check. It will get their attention for sure if missing. More important if you're custom to using it, it best to replace for your safety.

Hope this helped.  Good luck to you.

Answer 2

No it's legal, actually back in the 70's and 80's some cars only came standard with a driver side mirror.

Answer 3

It isn't illegal.  I wouldn't like it, but two exterior mirrors aren't required unless pulling a trailer.
