Car mirrors are the most important things necessary while driving.Because of high traffic and rush, mirror guides a driver all the way to their destination.A rear-view mirrors a mirror in automobiles and other vehicles, designed to allow the driver to see rearward through the vehicle's backlight. Earlier Rare View Mirror was introduced in Ray Harroun's inaugural Indianapolis 500 race in 1911 and it was Elmer Berger who incorporated Rare View Mirror on regular manufactured streetgoing cars. Usually, the rear-view mirror is affixed to the top of the windscreen on a swivel mount allowing it to be freely rotated. In the past, some cars had the rear-view mirror mounted on top of the dashboard. Rear-view mirrors are designed to break away to minimize injury to occupants who may be thrown against it in a collision. Rear-view mirrors are usually augmented with side-view mirrors on the driver's and/or passenger's side of the vehicle. A prismatic rear-view mirror — sometimes called a "day/night mirror" — can be tilted to reduce the brightness and glare of lights, mostly for headlights shining directly on the eye level at night. This type of mirror is made of a piece of glass that is wedge-shaped in cross section—its front and rear surfaces are not parallel. On manual tilt versions, a tab is used to adjust the mirror between "day" and "night" positions. In the day view position, the front surface is tilted and the reflective back side gives a strong reflection. When the mirror is moved to the night view position, its reflectorized rear surface is tilted out of line with the driver's view. This view is actually a reflection off the non-reflectorized front surface. Since the non-reflectorized front surface allows most of the light to go through, only a small amount of light is reflected into the driver's eyes.
