Hi
I have been driving with flat side mirrors for years and want to replace due to age.
My mechanic suggests that I switch to convex for better field of view.
I did a little research on mirrors and understand that while convex gives a wider view that the imagine can be slightly distorted at times depending on the angle of light hitting the curved surface.
Because a flat mirror does not have that problem it gives a more accurate image especially objects closing at a further distance.
If I have misinterpreted these concepts then please correct me.
Question is for all, do you use flat or convex and have you ever even thought about the tradeoffs?
Thanks
