Why do we prefer a convex mirror as a rear-view mirror in vehicles?

Solution

Convex mirrors always form a virtual, erect, and diminished image of the objects placed in front of it. We prefer a convex mirror as rear-view mirrors in vehicles because it gives a wider field of view, which allows the driver to see most of the traffic behind him.
