In the home position the driver views the normal rearview area while in the extended position the driver views the blind area into which another vehicle passing from behind enters after moving out of the normal viewing area of the mirror. The sweep mirror is moved to its extended position by a high speed motor controlled by the driver. The control is preferably included as part of the turn signal mechanism of the vehicle. Movement of the turn signal lever to actuate operation of the turn signal also activates the motor for the sweep mirror to move it quickly to its extended position.
