In a vehicle's rearview mirrors, you should ideally be able to see at least a few car lengths behind you, which typically translates to a distance of about 200 to 300 feet. This allows for a clear view of approaching vehicles and helps with safe lane changes and reversing. The side mirrors should also be adjusted to minimize blind spots, allowing you to see adjacent lanes and vehicles. Properly positioning these mirrors enhances overall road safety.

Why vehicles use plane mirrors and convex mirrors as rear view mirrors?

Vehicles use plane mirrors for rearview mirrors because they provide a clear, undistorted view of the area directly behind the vehicle, allowing drivers to see incoming traffic and obstacles accurately. Convex mirrors, on the other hand, are used for side mirrors because they have a wider field of view, helping to eliminate blind spots and allowing drivers to see more of the road and surrounding environment. The curvature of convex mirrors enables drivers to spot vehicles and pedestrians that may be out of reach of standard mirrors, enhancing overall safety.
