Mirrors
Do mirrors have to be 'marked' to satisfy SVA regs, or do they just have to be fit for purpose?

Not sure officially, but Mine weren't e-marked and were fine.

They don't have to be E-marked but they do have to be "equivalent" to an E-marked mirror. IE if its not E-marked it's up to
the examiner to decide whether it would be up to being E-marked. It's the same with lamps. My fog light wasn't E-marked and the examiner
decided it wasn't bright enough even though it was just as bright as the e-marked fog light it was replaced with.... Hohum...
but either way it'll still have to pass the field-of-vision test and (if in the "danger zone" be able to swing back if you hit
anything...

That's good then, as original, fully marked bike mirrors cost a frtune, whereas replacement parts from thefastone.co.uk are less than £20
apiece.

Just because they are ok for a bike does not make them ok for a car, they have to be large enough to meet the "criteria" see the sva
manual.
