Further away (smaller) than they actually are.
convex mirrors basically provide a wider view of the image and thus makes the driver to see the cars behind clearly without any problem. ++ That's so but in fact they do have one important effect, that of making the reflected objects seem further way than they are. This is why many larger vehicles are fitted with twin mirrors each side: one plane for true distance, the other convex for wide angle. Many lorries and buses also have subsidiary convex mirrors above the windscreen and doors so the driver can observe the immediate surroundings.
Convex mirrors are often placed on sharp turns on mountains to provide drivers with a wider field of view, allowing them to see oncoming traffic or obstacles around the bend. This helps improve safety by reducing blind spots and allowing drivers to react accordingly to potential hazards.
Usually only on the right side door to give a wider view.
Assuming that you had electric folding mirrors fitted to the car; put the driver's mirror adjuster into the central (neutral) position and push it down for a second, both mirrors should fold in. Repeating this will make the mirrors fold out.
Because glass is reflective. Mirrors are glass with just a silver backing on it

Cars must be fitted with a rear view mirror in the top middle of the wind screen and may also be fitted with side view or wing mirrors. The central mirror tells the driver about what is happening behind the car and the side view mirrors are used to see down the sides of the car which may be obscured form the central mirror.
The mirrors are fitted at 45 degree angles in a periscope in the opposite directions. when you see through the periscope, the image gets reflected.

A vehicle drawing a caravan must have at least two exterior mirrors, one on the offside and one on the nearside, which provide an adequate view to the rear and along both sides. If the normal mirrors do not provide this view (due to the width of the caravan) then some form of extended mirrors or other devices must be fitted - Road vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, Reg.33.
New glasses can affect the way things appear by correcting vision problems such as astigmatism or nearsightedness. If the glasses are not properly fitted or the prescription is incorrect, it can cause objects to appear slanted or distorted.
When things appear slanted when you wear your glasses, it may be due to an issue with the lenses in your glasses not being properly aligned with your eyes. This misalignment can cause a distortion in your vision, making objects appear slanted or tilted. It is important to have your glasses properly fitted and adjusted by an optometrist to ensure clear and accurate vision.
