(D Note
- Curved mirror surfaces (convex or spheri cal*) increase your field of view. Remember
that vehicles or other objects will appear
smaller and farther away than when seen in
a f lat mirror .
If you use this mirror to esti
mate distances of following vehicles when
changing lanes, you could estimate incor
rectly and cause an accident.
