When driving a car, the driver is required to attach the vehicle to the outside of the vehicle, for example, in order to check whether there is a following vehicle behind the host vehicle, a pedestrian or the like, or to check the safety of other traffic. It is common to use a fender mirror installed or an inner mirror installed indoors to confirm safety. However, blind spots occur on the side and rear portions of the vehicle body projected by these rearview mirrors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS When driving a car and trying to turn left or right or change the course, the driver first uses a fender mirror installed outside the vehicle or an inner mirror installed inside the vehicle. Check the safety status of the following and following vehicles and pedestrians, and then operate the turn signal switch to flash the turn signal lamp, and transmit the signal to other vehicles and pedestrians as their own will. It is. However, as shown in FIG. 1, even if the rear view mirror is used to confirm the safety of the rear part of the vehicle, blind spots are generated obliquely behind the left and right rear fenders of the vehicle body. For this reason, motorcycles and pedestrians are liable to be involved when turning left or right, and contact accidents such as changing lanes and collisions are likely to occur. In FIG. 2, the left,
Equipped with an electric device that can slide to the right at a certain angle or to a certain position to the right, and connect that device with a turn signal lamp and a turn signal switch via an electric circuit. When trying to perform certain actions such as turning left or right while driving, changing lanes, overtaking, etc., for example, in the case of a left turn in [Fig. 3], the driver uses the rearview mirror to check the safety of the side and rear of the vehicle. After checking, turn on the turn signal switch of the turn signal switch to the left to turn on the left turn signal lamp. At that time, the switch of the turn signal lamp and the mirror plate are turned on at the same time, the inner mirror operates so as to change the angle to the left at the same time as the turn signal lamp is turned on, and the rear fender behind is projected directly in front of the inner mirror. The inner mirror stops automatically at a certain position. When the driver completes a left turn, the steering wheel reversely turns when the vehicle tries to return to the front, but at the same time, the turn signal switch turns off automatically, and at the same time, the turn signal lamp stops blinking and the mirror plate Is also turned off. At the same time, the electric device mounted on the mirror plate is activated, and the inner mirror automatically returns to the original home position instantly. The same applies to the case of a right turn in FIG. [FIG. 5] shows the case of a device that moves in parallel in a sliding manner.

When driving a car and trying to change the course of the own vehicle while driving, the driver first checks the safety of the other traffic with the rearview mirror installed inside or outside the vehicle body. I'm going to do it. However, safety checks may be neglected. However, at the same time as operating the turn signal switch to turn on the turn signal lamp,
This activates the inner mirror and automatically changes the angle, instinctively the gaze of the driver responds strongly to the moving object. Therefore, the safety confirmation is more enhanced than the conventional fixed inner mirror. In addition, the left and right rear fenders, which were blind spots, are projected directly in front of the inner mirror, which is a plane mirror, so that the sense of distance to other vehicles is clear, the driver has a wider range of view, and turns left and right, course When trying to make changes, you will have more room to operate the car.
