Abstract
A vehicle mirror device includes a base unit configured to be fixed to a vehicle, a body unit that includes a mirror and is rotatably attached to the base unit, and a driving unit that drives the body unit to rotate with respect to the base unit. The driving unit includes a motor that drives the body unit to rotate, a current detecting circuit that detects current fluctuation due to rotation of the motor, and a switching circuit that switches ON or OFF current supply to the motor. While current fluctuation is detected, the switching circuit keeps current supply to the motor ON. While no current fluctuation is detected, the switching circuit switches OFF current supply to the motor.
