Windscreen Madness RAC
Thought I would get the windscreen fixed before MM3.
Just had a phone call from Kirsty to say they have broken the Mirrior off the car.
Cant replace until friday!
Meaning I will be at MM3 about midnight. SO MAD
Anyone know if its illegal to drive without a mirrior?

I don't think its illegal to drive without a rear view mirror. After all a lot of light commercials which are effectively coverted cars (eg escort vans) have no rear windows.

If i remember correct when a mate was decking out his beamer full of speakers floor to ceiling.
Police advised not illegal as long as you have both side mirrors and will pass mot too.

Wing mirror drivers side or rear view (internal) mirror? I think both of these are a requirement? But I think that Passenger side wing mirror is optional? I'm by no means sure of this though...

Autoglass lost the interior mirror spring on mine when I had to get the screen changed. So I had to drive with no interior mirror for a few weeks.
It's actually much more relaxing. You don't have to worry about the arseholes behind you.
