4.2.                                    At least one such mirror shall be affixed to each side of the vehicle and may project 150 mm beyond the point of 'Overall Width' of the vehicle or the 'Overall Width' of any trailer it may be drawing-
4.2.1.                              if the vehicle is a goods vehicle or an omnibus;
4.2.2.                              if the trailer be of greater width than the drawing vehicle; or
4.2.3.                              in any case where, because of the manner in which the vehicle is constructed 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 him as far as practicable a clear view of the road to the rear of him and of any following or overtaking vehicle.
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.
