What condition of mirrors will fail an inspection?

Cloudy or fogged mirrors
Missing or broken mirrors
Improperly adjusted mirrors
Non-reflective surface mirrors

The correct answer is: Missing or broken mirrors

Missing or broken mirrors are a clear safety concern and will certainly fail an inspection. In Texas, having fully intact and functional mirrors is essential for providing the driver adequate visibility and awareness of surrounding traffic. Mirrors are integral to safe driving, enabling the driver to make informed decisions and minimize blind spots. When a mirror is missing or broken, it significantly compromises the ability to see other vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles on the road, which can directly lead to dangerous situations. While other conditions affecting mirrors, such as being cloudy or improperly adjusted, may hinder visibility, they do not pose as immediate a risk as having no mirror at all. The absence of mirrors creates a complete lack of visibility, making it a violation of safety standards in vehicle inspections.
