Is there anything that legally says you now have to have them fitted
Why when you have a idiot mirror do you actually need one , I find it a distraction , 3 mirrors is more than enough to be able to see what’s about on your n/s , just seems overkill to me , or is there something I’m missing
Nb been given a truck with one fitted , asked when I get my truck refitted can they not fit one as I can see all I need too with my present mirrors, told have to have one so I can see cyclists , is it a London requirement . Ta
No legal requirement but I doubt they’ll let you take it off. they conveniently ignore the fact that if cyclists paid attention to the signals of traffic around them then this sort of safety device would be unnecessary.
watch this dozy youtu.be/Eug2kFK2ByI you may change your mind.
Every little helps as they say.
If you are interested Fresnel is pronounced Fray nell, after the bloke who invented it for lighthouses.

As opposed to his brother “Kin Hell” who invented lighthouses after nearly hitting rocks in his boat!

The wide angle mirror is not adjusted correctly - you don’t need to see the cab in half of it. If it were adjusted correctly they would all have been visible.
So just make sure mirrors are always adjusted for maximum view.

Pity, they speak highly of you.
Dozy they are a great asset, I do understand where your coming from though and as long as it’s fitted properly you’ll get use to it.
I’ve only ever driven one shift with one and it really was distracting. Felt I looked at that lense more than I did my mirrors. I didn’t like it at all, would take me a while to get used it (I don’t like change )

I mean the Letters and not the Company.
We have Windows to see out of the Cabin and not to get disturbed. with that fancy Sticker i have to drive with open Side Window
Why
Because every flash in the angle of my Eye gives me automatically a Shock,let me watch over to see a white Line,Telephon box or anything else.
I rather suggest to tell other Road user about the Danger of being Careless.

Lmfbo… You must have a proper gammy eye line to let something in the lens distract you… I have to turn my head to look in the nearside mirror!
Have you seen the Doctor about this impairment?
Shouldn’t think he’s seen much of you either!
Excellent, and despite what anyone (morons) say you cannot see in the mirrors the area they cover. If for example a pedestrian is walking by the cab, when you’re reversing it makes them much more visible than the mirrors.
I do get annoyed with drivers who ruin them by opening the window, unnecessarily I’d say, or take them off.
Arrived at work last Monday to find the fitter had installed lens to all the fleet over the weekend.
Must have taken hours finding the relevant keys, cleaning the window before installation etc.
Mind you, I would have been more impressed if he hadn’t fitted every one upside down…

morons only had two mirrors when I started driving class one professionally
you know the killer juggernaut
if drivers set their remaining six mirrors correctly
please don’t speak for others, with your inadequate professional hgv class one experience

Why’s it annoying to drive with the window open?
I’d hate to have a “London truck” with the unopenable window because someone fitted one of those stupid door windows.
