or equipped, or the fact that it is drawing a trailer or for any other reason, the driver could not, by means of a mirror affixed to the inside of the vehicle, have reflected to the driver as far as practicable a clear view of the road to the rear of the driver and of any following or overtaking vehicle.
14.4.3.                          The mirrors may project 230 mm on each side beyond the point of 'Overall Width' of the vehicle provided that the mirror is capable of collapsing to 150 mm.
14.4.4.                          All such mirrors fitted to vehicles shall be at least 150 square centimetres in area
14.4.5.                          Mirrors on the driver's side shall be flat, and mirrors on the passenger's side may be flat or convex.
14.4.5.1.                    'Convex mirrors', if fitted, shall meet the requirements of Clauses 14.2.4.2.1 and 14.2.4.2.2.
14.5.                                REQUIREMENTS FOR L-GROUP VEHICLES ONLY

         All vehicles shall be equipped with 2 rear vision mirrors having the same curvature (including flatness), symmetrically placed relative to the centre of the steering control and of such dimensions as to be capable of reflecting to the driver as far as practicable a clear view of the road to the rear of the driver and of any following or overtaking vehicle.

14.5.1.1.                    Flat mirrors shall have not less than 80 square centimetres of reflective surface.
14.5.1.2.                    'Convex Mirrors' shall have not less than 64.5 square centimetres of reflective surface and an average radius of curvature that is not less than 1,200 mm.
14.6.                                ADDITIONAL EXTERNAL REAR VISION mirrors
14.6.1.                          Mirrors in addition to those required by this Rule may also be fitted, provided that
14.6.1.1.                    they do not protrude or project beyond the vehicle more than allowed for other mirrors required by this Rule.
14.6.1.2.                    they do not obstruct or interfere with the field of view requirements provided by mirrors fitted to meet the specified requirements of this Rule.
14.6.1.3.                    if the mirror is the only minor on the left-hand side it shall be flat or convex with an average radius of curvature of at least 1,200 mm.
14.6.2.                          Additional mirrors need not meet the requirements of Clause 14.2.4.2.2 except as specified in Clause 14.6.1.3 above.

14.7.1.                          The technical requirements of ECE R 46/00 or 46/01 – 'Rear View Mirrors' - shall be deemed to be equivalent to the technical requirements of this Rule for mirrors other than additional mirrors, except that for LE, M-group and N-group vehicles the reflecting surface of the internal mirror and the mirror on the driver's side shall be flat
14.7.2.                          The technical requirements relating to the component aspect of ECE R81/00 shall be deemed to meet the requirements of Clause 14.5.1.2.
14.7.3.                          In addition,
