FMVSS 111: Reaview Mirrors

Rearview Mirrors - Passenger Cars, Multipurpose Passenger Vehicles, Trucks, Buses, School Buses and Motorcycles
(Effective January 1, 1968)
This standard specifies requirements for the performance and location of inside and outside rearview mirrors. Its purpose is to reduce the number of deaths and injuries that occur when the driver of a motor vehicle does not have a clear and reasonably unobstructed view to the rear.

School Buses (Effective December 2, 1993)
Revised requirements for driver visibility in front of and along both sides of school buses.
