What effect do convex mirrors have on vehicles travelling behind?

Correct answer

The vehicles appear further away

When we drive with convex external side mirrors or interior mirrors, they make vehicles travelling behind us appear to be further away than they really are. We must therefore take this optical effect into account in order to drive safely.
