    How this respondent action was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the published response wording shown below.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Rotate both wing mirrors on Vehicles 1 and 2 by 180 degrees to reduce their projection below 20 centimetres.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “13. Therefore, in order to reduce the width of the wing mirrors GRS Recovery has rotated both offside and near side wing mirrors 180 degrees. This places the longer area which faced outwards from the tubular metal frame inward and vice versa. Consequently, this reduces the width of the wing mirrors. GRS Recovery provides the following examples from the offside and nearside mirrors of Vehicle 2 in Photos B and C.”
