The Master Reverser

G'day Dave, I know you're someone with a bit of experience with trucks with a couple dozen or more wheels :-)))

Most truck and dog tipper drivers do that every day, they are pretty to watch.
They'll tip the truck and dog's load on the same heap by cleverly jack-knifing the rig until both are side by side and dump the load, often in very confined spaces.

Fred.

G'day Fred, notice how slowly he reverses, and that's the main criteria.

If it starts to go the wrong way, you can stop and have another go before you get too far off line.

cheers
Dave

Hi Bill, those bloody things should be ilegal, and especially now as most are fitted to drivers side as well. Show me a truck that still doesnt have the normal mirrors for reversing then these other ones for showing wider view, alot of trucks these days have 3 mounted on passengers side. My wifes toyota yaris (what he hell for in a buz box) has these pathetic things on both sides, they are in my opinion dangerous and there is no warning on the mirrors either like our commodore use to have on passengers side, I reckon its half the reason people seem to chop other people up when changing lanes ?? What ever happened to looking over the shoulder. I know there are people out there who have neck problems and so forth who probably are not capable of turning their head to check fair enough but this should be an option (no extra charge) for people who may need them due to personal needs, same as the ones some people seem to fit to the rear view mirror this lot dont even think to use side mirrors either. And yes I have driven many semis so I know how to reverse Regards Steve M

They are an initiative of the panel beating industry.

hi all
i have those mongrel convex mirrors on my vw golf and
i wont change lanes until i can see the vehicle i'm overtaking in the interior center view mirror
90%% off merging accident imho would be caused by these stupid convex mirrors they give you the impression the other vehicle is quiet a distance behind to left or right
when in actuall fact it is right near the rear corner of yours
i believe the vehicle manufacturers introduced them to destroy more vehicles and keep the industry in business
cheers
