講開係澳洲渣車，我有一樣野到E平攭鴴A試過係Sydney、Perth、Melbourne同Brisbane租車玩，唔知點解係澳洲無論係大至貨櫃車或巴土、小至一般私家車或電單車，左右兩邊side mirror都係用flat mirror，平鏡點渣呢？盲 ...
Car manufacturers are required to provide flat, unit magnification mirrors an the driver's side of the car. The driver-side mirror offer the same undistorted image.
The government has also set specific standard for the curvature of convex mirrors. The immortal words, "Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear", are mandated by federal law on all convex mirrors.
The convex mirrors are particularly popular with freeway and turnpike drivers, who can see oncoming cars streaming in from entry ramps much more easily. the biggest danger of convex mirror is that because objects in the mirror are closer than they appear, drivers will think they have more room to pass another car than really do. But most drivers look through the undistorted rear-view mirror than the side-view mirror before making a lane change anyway, and the prudent driver should check over his shoulder before making his move.
