What is this thing on door B-pillar?

[BanCoe]

Have been seeing this long mirror like thingy on the door pillar (between driver and rear pax) & mostly in those silver cabs..... any idea what it does or purpose ??

It's just a rearview mirror for rear passengers to check before opening the car door.

[flashbang]

So some blur passenger doesn't open the door and get the entire door ripped off by a passing vehicle.

Actually it is the duty of the Taxi Drivers,to make sure Passengers are safe or not to alight,not just stop,collect $$$ & let the Passenger decide when can open their doors.

Sometimes passenger open doors too quickly. Cant blame the drivers. No one should exit from the right along the road side unless they know what they are doing.

Saw this on merc taxi. Is just a DIY handler that the taxi driver install. I guess is for the needy passenger to hold on while alight and boarding.

S korea has been installing this on their cab

 

Its good for passengers to check during alighting.

 

 

In certain cases, passengers will be able to help driver to check left lane clear anot during zig zag lol

IF everyone open the door at the walkway side instead of traffic it would reduce all this need of installing a mirror.

 

The are however a lot of ku ku cyclist somehow still ride rather fast on that side and yes, it happens.

I remember when I'm in Taipei, taxi only allow me to open the door that is beside a pathway.

 

Not allow to open the other door that is a road

 

That's a good safety measure for all drivers.
