Abstract
A system of mirrors for a vehicle which augments an operators vision to allow a clear vision path past a forward obstacle. The operators vision is reflected backwards by a first mirror. This first mirror is angles towards a second mirror facing forward. The resulting reflection of the second mirror allows the operator to see along side of any obstruction which may be blocking forward vision, such as a larger vehicle.
