Reversing around a corner?

Question

my driving instructor told me that when i do the reverse round a corner i am allowed to point my left side mirror to the floor to see my tyres and how close i am to the curb, is this allowed?

Answer 1

I've never heard of anybody doing it, a good tip though is put a very small piece of tape in the bottom corner of the rear window so that it lines up with your view of the kerb when you are parked in the right position and then just align with that...

Good luck!

Answer 2

absolutely not.

Answer 3

dont see why not

Answer 4

Yes, But just remember to re-position them after you have completed the manoeuvre :)
