Show answer

Correct answer

  • ACon el vehículo detenido.With the vehicle stopped.
Explanation

The mirrors must be adjusted with the vehicle stopped, to avoid distraction and ensure safety. Adjusting them while the vehicle is moving, even at low speed, takes your attention away from the road, which increases the risk of an accident. Once they are correctly adjusted before moving off, the mirrors give the driver a good view of the surroundings without needing to touch them while driving.
