Question 391 · Car theory test
What effect can wet weather have on a vehicle's exterior mirrors?
Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
Water droplets can obscure the reflected image.
Official explanation
When driving in wet weather conditions, small water droplets can form on the glass of the exterior mirrors. This could make it more difficult to see the road behind and to the sides. Switch on the mirror demisters if they are fitted. If necessary, stop and clear them.
