N.J. Admin. Code § 13:20-33.24 - Commercial vehicle inspection: rear view mirrors
(a) A motor vehicle shall not be certified if it is not equipped with at least one rear view mirror. A passenger
automobile manufactured after January 1, 1965, shall be equipped with an interior mirror and an exterior mirror on the driver's side.
(b) A commercial motor vehicle manufactured after January 1, 1965, shall be equipped with an interior mirror and an
exterior mirror on the driver's side, except that every such vehicle so constructed or loaded as to obstruct or obscure a rear view from an interior
mirror shall, in lieu of an interior mirror, be equipped with an exterior mirror on the side of the vehicle opposite the driver's side.
(c) Mirrors shall be securely mounted and located and adjusted so as to provide the driver adequate rear view
vision. Mirrors shall not obstruct the driver's forward vision. Concave or convex mirrors shall not be used in place of the interior mirror or the
driver's side exterior mirror.
(d) Certification of a motor vehicle shall not be refused because a mirror
is discolored, peeled, tarnished, cracked, broken, or has sharp edges, provided the mirror affords the driver adequate rear view vision. However, the
motorist shall be advised to have the defect corrected.
(e) Mirrors shall be capable of adjustment to a
fixed horizontal and vertical position.
