Plane mirrors are those mirros which always forms a virtual image i.e, not real , behind the mirror and Same size of the Object.

Image size = Object Size
As we daily see our face in Plane mirrors

Image Distance = Object Distance
Plane mirrors doesnt magnify images mean it doesnt make the size of image smaller or larger...You can observe this by looking any object in front of plane mirror....If u go farther away from the mirror,Observe the size of mirror, it doesnt get smaller or larger...

So if we are getting small Images in a mirrors fitted in automobiles will definetly not a plane mirror.

Actually these mirrors are Convex Mirrors...Look ur face on bulging part( i.e, convex part) of spoon you will find ur small image...

So convex mirrors are used in automobiles...

These mirrors are used in automobile to see the whole traffic behind in the small Mirror...This gives wider view to the observer...
