ABSTRACT:
Two identical sides, include convex mirror61, mirror-backing62and main-frame21. Sides are attached together and to frame-backing30by three hinges70. Three adjustable length legs80with swivel, magnetic feet90in main-frames21near corners. Front, centerline view provides reflections, right and left, 90 degrees to centerline, through 40 degree arcs backward. Mirrors are centered at rear of vehicle's trunk-lid so as visible through the inside rear-view mirror. Driver can thus easily and safely see critical areas which may otherwise be unobservable. This includes seeing around vehicles parked on either side. In highway driving, these mirrors allow a driver to clearly see “blind-spots” in the rear-view mirror. Risk of losing attention to the road and positive steering by turning around to look, is thus avoided.
