point of the vehicle cab on the passenger's side;

              15.2.4.5.2. In the transverse direction, the parallel plane passing at a distance of 2 m in front of the plane mentioned in paragraph 15.2.4.5.1. above.

              15.2.4.5.3. To the rear, the plane parallel to the vertical plane passing through the driver's ocular points and situated at a distance of 1.75 m behind that plane;

              15.2.4.5.4. To the front, the plane parallel to the vertical plane passing through the driver's ocular points and situated at a distance of 1 m in front of that plane. If the vertical transverse plane passing through the leading edge of the vehicle bumper is less than 1 m in front of the vertical plane passing through the driver's ocular points, the field of vision shall be limited to that plane.

              15.2.4.5.5. In the case the field of vision described in Figures 8a and 8b can be perceived through the combination of the field of vision from a Class IV wide-angle view device and that of a Class VI front-view device, the installation of a Class V close-proximity view device is not compulsory.

              15.2.4.5.6. On the passenger side only, the field of vision shall also be such that the driver can see a flat horizontal portion of the road along the side of the vehicle which is outside the field defined in paragraphs 15.2.4.5.1. to 15.2.4.5.4. above but within the field bounded by the following vertical planes; the front of this field of vision may be rounded off with a radius of 2,000 mm (see Figures 8c and 8d):

              15.2.4.5.7. In the transverse direction, the parallel plane passing at a distance of 4.5 m in front of the plane mentioned in paragraph 15.2.4.5.1. above.

              15.2.4.5.8. To the rear, the plane parallel to the vertical plane passing through the driver's ocular points and situated at a distance of 1.75 m behind that plane.

              15.2.4.5.9. To the front, the plane parallel to the vertical plane passing through the driver's ocular points and situated at a distance of 3 m in front of that plane. This field of vision may be partially provided by a front-view device
              (Class VI).

              15.2.4.5.10. The field of vision prescribed in paragraphs 15.2.4.5.6. to 15.2.4.5.9. above may be partially provided by a wide-angle view device (Class IV) or a combination of a close-proximity view device (Class V) and a front-view device (Class VI).

              15.2.4.5.11. The area prescribed in paragraphs 15.2.4.5.6. to 15.2.4.5.9. above may be viewed using a combination of direct view and indirect vision devices (of Class IV, V, VI).

              15.2.4.5.11.1. If an indirect vision device of Class IV is used to
