The writing on the passenger-side mirror of your car says "Warning! Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" (Figure 1) . There is no such warning on the driver's mirror. Consider a typical convex passenger-side mirror with a focal length of -80 cm. A 1.6-m-tall cyclist on a bicycle is 29 m from the mirror. You are 1.2 m from the mirror, and suppose, for simplicity, that the mirror, you, and the cyclist all lie along a line.
