"My name is Kevin Woods on behalf of expertvillage.com; phone number is (314) 584-0116. Today I want you to relax and I don't want you to be nervous; it's okay to be nervous. I have this dual brake so I am able to stop the car as well. So just go ahead and it's all right to make mistakes. I'm not going to allow you to make any fatal mistakes because I have once again, this dual brake and believe me I know how to use it. I have a safety mirror to where I can see so there is actually 2 rear view mirrors. I can see in the back as well as you can see and every now and then I would ask you to tell me what color car is behind you, not that(但是不是,并非) I'm interested in color of the car but I am interested in your getting into habits of always watching to see what is going on behind you. What's going on behind you is as important as what is going on in front of you. I'm not interested in the car, I'm just interested in your building up habits of every 20 seconds you should be looking out(留心) your mirror to see what is going on around you. It's about being aware of what is going on around you at all times."

How To Use The Rear View Mirror（2）

Driving instructors say that using the rearview mirror should become a habit that you don't even think about when driving. In addition, other elements of the rearview mirror should be taken into consideration. Driving becomes second nature after a very short time, but the rearview mirror need always be used consciously. Know that your safety, and the safety of everyone else on the road, depends on it.

Step1 Keep your eyes on the road while looking in the rearview mirror. The look should be just a glance that takes place continuously while you are driving.
Step2 Memorize the cars that you see there so that you can watch for those cars to pass you or leave the road. When it comes time for you to make a turn or change lanes, you can look for those cars that were behind at your last look. If you see a different car and did not see the original car leave the road, you will need to wait in case the driver has moved into your blind spot.
Step3 Understand the limited view that you receive from the rearview mirror. You can see what is directly behind you and to the sides of your car's rear end. The rearview mirror cannot substitute for a slight turn of your head when changing lanes. All cars have a blind spot not reflected in the rearview mirror.
Step4 Use the little tab on the bottom of the rearview mirror to adjust the mirror at night. This tab will turn the mirror up ever so slightly to prevent extreme glare. The night mode does not change the view from the rearview mirror, just the intensity of the lights.
