Printed on such a mirror is usually the warning “Vehicles in this mirror are closer than they appear”.The reason for this warning is that the virtual image produced in a convex mirror is reduced in size and, therefore, looks smaller, just as a distant object will appear in a plane mirror.

Vehicles appear to be at a slight distance when checked through the convex mirror on the driver's side, and therefore to avoid accidents it is written so that the driver does not think that the vehicles are indeed far.
Explanation:
- Driving is a risky task and must be done with utmost care and attention.
- To aid the drivers in driving carefully car makers put in a number of instructions out of which the one on the mirror of the driver as such.
- The convex nature of the mirror makes objects look at a higher distance than they actually are and therefore to warn the driver that such is not the case, in reality, such a message is printed on the mirror.
