If the image is erect and equal in size and it does not change its size and nature on moving the mirror closer or away from the object, the mirror is plane mirror. If the image is erect and magnified and it becomes inverted on moving the mirror away from the object, the mirror is concave mirror. If the image is erect and diminished and remains erect on moving the mirror away from the object, the mirror is convex mirror.

Why are objects in a car mirror closer than they appear?

There is a plane mirror on the driver's side and a convex mirror on the passenger's side. The reason only the passenger mirror is convex is because you are farther away from it. The angular view provided by farther mirror of the same physical size produces a similarly smaller reflected field of view. The convex mirror provides a larger field of view- one that should be comparable to the closer drivers mirror.
