Question

when you look at the mirror in your car you feel that the driver in the car behind you sitting on the left side of the car​

Answer 1

Answer:

You would notice that the rear view mirror tends to be tilted in the direction of the driver unless he or she does not refer to it while driving. In cities that have heavy traffic density, drivers tend to close the side mirrors (as they tend to brush against other vehicles) and rely more on the rear view mirror. If you are seated behind the driver, you would be directly in the sight of the driver whenever s/he checks the mirror. You can make a proactive choice to sit on the opposite side of the driver if you do not want to be seen, or you can sit behind the driver at times you want to be seen e.g. when you like to have conversation with them during your rides.

Answer 2

Answer: The given statement is true, that the driver will perceive as if the driver in the car behind them is sitting on the left side of the car when looking in the side mirrors.

Explanation:

• The statement is true. Convex mirrors are used in cars as side view mirrors to see traffic behind the driver, The following reasons explain why particularly convex mirrors are used:
• Because the image created by a convex mirror is much minimized, it provides a broad field of vision of the traffic behind the car to the driver, Also, regardless of the vehicle's position behind the driver, a convex mirror always creates an upright picture with respect to the object.
• As we know that all mirrors, i.e. the plane and spherical mirrors, show lateral inversion, (the left appears to be right and vice versa), we can say that “when the driver looks at the mirror in her car, she feels that the driver in the car behind her is sitting on the left side of the car​”.
