Spot the Dumbness

From the first picture I thought the back middle seat had a head rest up which meant blocking the rear-view mirror.

I really over thought it.

Honestly - I'm a bit disappointed in this thread. Was expecting the car guy to bring the shit that made me lose my shit but all we get is a folded rearview. Nee man.

How much rating are you thinking?

It bothered me enough to create this rant thread.

Passenger side mirror is not essential for driving. It helps, but you can do without it.
Edit: if you own or drive a car from the 80s, there's a good chance it doesn't even have a passenger side mirror.

Yep, my '82 VW Golf has no passenger side mirror and the last I recall only one rear facing mirror is legally required on cars in SA.

Fair point, I did take that into account but not to be pedantic if a person's modern car has said mirror surely it should be available for use lol

100% correct but the average SA driver is doing their hair, make-up, WhatsApp'ing, on their phone, etc. so won't notice their passenger mirror in the wrong position anyway.
 
whats the big deal? most people dont pay attention to their surroundings, drive like POS, and doing 100 other things at the same time,
just another Polo dirver in CPT,
suprised the front of her car isnt all dented and messed up with how most Polo drivers drive.
 
I don't think on the Polo that you can just fold one mirror in. So unless both were folded in, then it was likely knocked by a passerby. Or maybe the motor failed...it is a Polo, after all:ROFL:

I found the mirror folded this way on my Hyundai a few moons ago. Someone had knocked it closed, probably trying to squeeze through between my car and another in a parking lot. Luckily the motor declutches when it's not being used so I could just unfold it with my hand.

I miss the folding mirrors, actually. My current ride doesn't have it, as far as I know. It was handy when once or twice in gridlock traffic, I could fold them in to let a wider motorcycle (BMW 1200GS or similar) squeeze past me.
 
sure when you'll go to the US, you'll see the exact same thing with a F150
or a Tesla, or anything we dont get in South africastan.

only difference will be the side of the road they drive on, and the enormity of their SUV's

I used to fold mine on the Pug in when on the highway to lessen wind resistance. Go fast mode.

SA is becoming a Sh1th0le, might as well, have a name that suits it, like Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan

I think what you will most notice there, is how people refuse outright to move over, they will stay in their lane, no matter what,
you think its bad here? you ain't seen nothing yet, Americans tend to drive like brain-dead Zombies.

where the rear view Mirror is purely a decoration, and not an essential part of the Car,
but then again, most American cars are made of such crappy plastic, they they disintegrate if you look too long at them.
 
/still trying to get out of the pothole I moered into last week.
