FYI Ford, Classic Mustang Tech Discussion » Convex door mirrors or flat door mirrors » 11/20/2020 5:10 AM |
A flat rear view mirror reflects the true space behind your car with respect to distances. However, the disadvantage is that the area behind you covered by them is smaller. A convex mirror covers a greater area, but doesn't reflect the true distances - that's why those mirrors contain the warning "objects in the mirror are closer than they appear" - at least in the US. I'm located in Europe and modern cars all have convex mirrors without any warning engraved here.
I changed my Mustang's door mirror from flat to convex and feel more safe to change lanes now (because of the greater area covered by them). No difference when parking since I always turn my head for that.
