The rear-view mirror was invented by a Frenchwoman ... In 1897, Miss Davy de Cussé attached a mirror to the front of her car "to see what's going on behind". She even filed a patent for the first rear-view mirror. One newspaper columnist commented: "It's a weird contraption that has no future." Yet it has since become compulsory !

torej, prevod za tiste ki ne znate anglesko:
Vzvratno ogledalo je izumila francoska zenska ... V letu 1897 je g. Davy de Cusse namestila ogledalo na sprednji del vozila, da bi videla kaj se dogaja za njo. Celo patentirala je vzvratno ogledalo. En pisec clankov v casopisu je dejal: "to je cudna naprava, ki nima prihodnosti". Kljub temu je to postalo obvezen del avta.

hehe...od takrat pa do zdaj je bil knighjt rider skoraj edini ki ni imel vzvratnega ogledala
