ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary mirror for attachment to the main rearview mirror of a vehicle. The auxiliary mirror comprises a flat mirror device having a front and a back mirror surface and a hinge member extending along the upper edge of the mirror device. The mirror device is pivotally mounted on the hinge member so that the mirror device can be pivoted from a first position where the front mirror surface is viewed to a second position where the back mirror surface is viewed. A mechanism is provided for connecting the hinge member to the main mirror. When the auxiliary mirror is placed in the first position, it offers a view to the rear and to the right of the vehicle, a location which would normally be a blind spot. When the auxiliary mirror is raised to the second position, it can be used to provide an improved view of the roadway directly behind the vehicle. The latter improved view is desirable for backing up the vehicle.
