so located as to reflect to the operator a view of the highway for a distance
of at least two hundred (200) feet to the rear of the vehicle.
    (2)  When a motor vehicle is so loaded or constructed, or is towing a
vehicle or trailer which is so loaded or constructed as to obstruct the
driver's view straight to the rear, then the motor vehicle shall be equipped
with a mirror on the left side and a mirror on the right side so located as to
reflect to the operator a view of the highway for a distance of at least two
hundred (200) feet to the rear of the vehicle.
    (3)  When an operator of a motor vehicle is transporting under special
permit authority an oversize load which makes mirrors impractical devices for
reflecting to the operator a view of the highway to the rear, a following
escort vehicle equipped with proper mirrors meeting the requirements herein
may be substituted for the required mirrors on the hauling motor vehicle.  The
escort vehicle must be a car or light truck and it must be equipped with an
oversize load sign, flashing or rotating lights, and a two (2) way radio which
