DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Convex rearview mirrors are frequently used on motorcycles because they offer a wider field of vision. However, they have the disadvantage of slightly distorting the perception of distance and size. Reflected objects appear smaller than they actually are. This causes the false sensation that the vehicles driving behind are further away than they really are.
