Just caught up on this one:

Staffordshire County Council - Highways

That was written for BMW drivers....

Quote:
The use of mirrors on the highway is not recommended because of:-

• Distortion of the perception of distance and speed of vehicles
• Reflection of headlamps at night
• Glare from sunshine
• Obscured by condensation and dirt

A mirror erected on the public highway without authorisation from the Secretary of State is an illegal sign in terms of the Highway Act 1980 and the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and may be removed by the Highway Authority.

Surely that was written for BMW drivers...... do they have another recommendation for indicators??

You misunderstand - this is referring to static mirrors on poles to aid visibility at tricky junctions, not vehicle rear view mirrors.
