The one inside is a "rearview." The outside ones are "sideview." The one on the back of the visor is the "vanity mirror."

it's commonly called the rear view mirror. Mirrors on the doors are side mirrors or side view mirrors. Mirrors in the sun visors (for like checking your face) are vanity mirrors.

QUESTION(S)!

I'm writing an article that will have dosing information. What's a good universal unit for these sorts of things?

Ounces? mL? Do Europeans know what a tablespoon is (it's 1/2 a fluid ounce, btw)? Should I just write for US audiences because I'm an idiot that doesn't know how to use the metric system? Will these questions ever stop?

The medical community uses ml, so I'd go with that. And no, the questions never stop!
