Which side is your nearside mirror?

Explanation:
Nearside means the side closest to the kerb, and in countries that drive on the left, that is the left-hand side. The nearside exterior mirror is mounted on the driver’s left door, so it lets you see the side of the vehicle and any hazards along that curb, especially when turning left or changing lanes. It isn’t the interior rear‑view mirror (that’s the centre view of what’s behind you), and there isn’t a top mirror used for the nearside. The right-hand mirror would be the offside.
