Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an unexpected accident by inserting extendable rods which have a rear view mirror at the outer end of the respective extendable rods fitted at the right and left of a single fixed seat, and reflecting the right and left traffic conditions of a vehicle in the rear view mirror effectively by means of telescopic adjustment of the extendable rod. SOLUTION: A rear view mirror 3 is jointed in line with the outer end of an extendable rod 2 adjustable so as to be an appropriate length, which is on both sides of a fixed seat 1, through a universal joint 21, inserted in the fastening pipe 22 of an extendable rod 2 formed with the fastening pipe 22 and a fastening ring 221 at its inner end, and the position of the rear view mirror 3 is adjusted. An indicating angle 31 is displayed on the rear view mirror 3, and another indicating angle is also displayed at the angle part of the rear lower ends of front part door glass on the right and left of a vehicle. By adjusting a position in such a way as the indicating angle 31 of the right rear view mirror 3 and the indicating angle of the right front part door glass overlap each other by means of driver's visual adjustment, and adjusting the left rear view mirror 3 in the same way, views of the right and left are reflected, therefore, it is possible to observe the area of a dead angle at the time of driving, indicate appropriate timing for changing a lane to a driver, and make the driver know the right and left traffic conditions while the driver continues to watching his front, thus preventing an unexpected traffic accident.
