Less than 17 weeks left to comply with the new blind-spot mirror law. Dont leave it til the last minute.

Legislation to meet the requirements of EU directive 2007/38/EC has to be acted upon by the 31st March, which will come around all too soon. If any of your trucks (above 3.5 tonnes) are registered between 2000 and 2007 they are likely to need modification.

It covers all the areas (and some) required by the directive. It fits easily to the front of the truck and is viewed through the windscreen. There is a DOBLI mirror designed specifically for most major truck brands/models affected by the legislation.
The mirrors affected are the wide angle (class IV) and close proximity (class V) on the near side of the truck. With some models it may be possible to fit approved replacement mirror glasses, which is obviously the cheapest option. However if this is not possible, fitting a DOBLI blind-spot mirror from Brigade Electronics is the simplest and quickest cost effective alternative.

Does this mean that if your vehicle is older than 2000 this legislation does not apply?
