It seems to me that if you have your mirrors sticking out the maximum amount of 10 inches on each side and you still can not see behind you then you need a wider tow vehicle.

PopBeavers -
I think I am reading the last paragraphs a little different. But I'm not real sure that I am reading it as intended.
First, the permissable width of a vehicle is apparently 110". (Middle para.)
Then it says that lights and mirrors may extend
beyond the permissible width of the vehicle by 10" on each side. (First para.)
I'm not a lawyer either, and I agree that the language is pretty ambiguous.
Perhaps the real point is that mirrors should be far enough apart that you can see the wheels on the trailer, and that the sight lines converge no further than 200 feet behind the trailer.
