Abstract
A door mirror includes an imaging unit that is pointed downward, and a redirecting mechanism, which is positioned at least in front of and to the side of, with respect to the longitudinal direction of a vehicle, a lens of the imaging unit, for redirecting water droplets that would otherwise flow from the radially outer side to the radially inner side of the lens.
