Many modern vehicles are fitted with an additional nearside mirror. What does this help the driver to see?

• A. The distance of the following vehicle
• B. The front wheel in relation to the kerb
• C. The exhaust to check for emissions
• D. The rear of the vehicle when reversing

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is how an extra nearside mirror helps with vehicle positioning near the kerb. This mirror lets you see the front wheel and how close it is to the kerb, which is essential when parking in tight spaces or turning alongside a curb. By watching where the front wheel sits relative to the kerb, you can steer accurately and avoid catching the wheel or scraping the curb. It isn’t about judging the distance to the vehicle behind you, checking exhaust emissions, or viewing the rear of the vehicle when reversing, so those options aren’t the purpose of this mirror.
