If the flat mirrors outside the bus are set correctly, what should you be able to see in them?
Correct answer: The rear tires meeting the ground and about 200 feet of road behind the bus.

- BOnly the road about 200 feet behind, without any view of the rear tires
- COnly the rear tires meeting the ground, without any view of the road behind
Why
Adjust the left and right flat mirrors so that you can see where the rear tires meet the ground and about 200 feet (roughly four bus lengths) to the rear. If a mirror shows only one of these, it is not set correctly.
