Passing mirrors PERISCOPIC - the main thing is SAFETY! - Toyota Corolla, 1.6L, 2002
Initially, knowing and a couple of times faced with an unpleasant problem of right-hand drive cars, I decided to purchase a PERISCOPIC MIRROR SYSTEM.
-------------------------------------------------- -
The problem is as follows.
-------------------------------------------------- -
On narrow two-lane roads, when overtaking a truck, which significantly obscures the view, right-hand drive cars often jump out into the oncoming lane almost under the wheels of cars moving in this lane - an emergency, the risk of a head-on collision.
This situation occurs due to the fact that the driver of a right-hand drive car does not receive all the necessary information in advance about the situation in front of the left.
As a result of a short search on baza.drom.ru/, I
found an advertisement for the sale of a periscope system at a very affordable price.
--------------------------
What does it do?
--------------------------
Without a periscope system, when overtaking, the driver of a right-hand drive car is forced to take a strong left, often unreasonably driving into the oncoming lane, creating an emergency situation:
this is due to the fact that the driver sits in the right seat, and vehicles moving slightly ahead in the same lane block most of the view of the oncoming lane.
On narrow two-lane roads, when overtaking a truck, which significantly obscures the view, right-hand drive cars often jump out into the oncoming lane almost under the wheels of cars moving in this lane.
With the help of a periscopic system, this problem disappears. Because driving into the oncoming lane, the driver can assess the safety of the upcoming overtaking, as a result, the risk of
oncoming head-on collisions is reduced .
It looks nice and pretty decent, and the result is that it helps to adapt the right-hand drive car to the conditions of right-hand traffic.
------------------
For reference
------------------
SO much necessary information for those who have a Japanese car, and accordingly there is such a problem. And for those who do not want to spend a lot of money on the purchase of the Periscopic system, and as it turned out, it costs at least a thousand rubles.
Here is a link to the seller of such "homemade" periscope systems.

DON'T THINK FOR ADVERTISING, but he does sell PERESCOPIC mirrors for pennies. The price of 1 set is 250 rubles + delivery of 100 rubles, for a total of only 350 rubles and your safety on our roads increases significantly.
They are certainly not ideal (they are slightly shaken, the suction cups are so-so), such problems exist in almost all periscopic systems. minor improvements and these problems practically disappear.
My opinion- They work out their price with a bang. People are the main thing!
I thought so too, climbed everything, there are no such. As I understand it, he drills a hole in the mirror housing and carefully glues a hinge with a suction cup into it, it turns out not even bad. They do not interfere with the passenger at all, they are in the extreme left corner and practically do not close the view, but they help when overtaking, the main thing is not to knock down the tuned mirrors when you put the "shiny" so that the panel does not get warm :)
Damn, can you buy these mirrors in auto parts? :)
Does the passenger get in the way of visibility?
well done. This is the first time I see a person who has installed such mirrors ...
Yes, I already thought about it. Only it is not very convenient to check the mafon all the time. This is the time ... But I will definitely put the rear camera.
I read somewhere on this site that instead of these mirrors they put a camera. With the condition that there is a mayfunch like yours. The result is better than these mirrors by about 250%. A person only gave for this pleasure, about 4 thousand.

Hey.
Don't think of it as an advertisement, I am making these mirrors. The technology is not complicated, I can tell everyone how to make them :)
I support the previous question, do you still make mirrors?

alexx57, tell or at least tell me what the name of this mirror on a suction cup is. I found only some flimsy and terrible quality. And I want something proven on the road and time.
