You don't have to suffer the glare from the cars behind you with their high beams on. Some mirrors can actually provide the temperature readout and a compass in digitized form being flashed on the mirror. Some side mirrors also act as signal lights; they show arrows visible enough for all the cars behind you signaling your intentions to turn. Other mirrors are installed for special purposes. Wide trucks and full sized SUVs and minivans utilize rear mirrors to see if their rear is going to hit something when they are on the reverse motion, and backing it up with wide angle mirrors to provide a wider view thus eliminating blind spots. Towing mirrors provide additional visibility too so that you can tow something safely. Mirrors also come in various shapes and sizes to help in customizing your vehicle.
