Wing mirrors, also known as side mirrors, are reflective devices mounted on the exterior of vehicles, typically on the doors. They provide drivers with a view of the area beside and behind the vehicle, helping to enhance safety while driving. Wing mirrors can be manually adjusted or powered for convenience. These mirrors often come with additional features, such as blind-spot detection and heating elements to prevent fogging. They are essential for safe lane changes and parking, allowing drivers to monitor traffic and obstacles that may not be visible through the rearview mirror inside the vehicle.
