(clip)
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Convex is a GOOD thing. It's not so much that it makes things appear
smaller, which it does, but it increases your angle of view. With a flat
mirror you would have to lean to various positions to scan the scene behind
you, which would be difficult, and would never assure you that you have
really taken in everything. In fact, I cannot recall ever seeing a flat
bar-end mirror--I'll bet they are not even available.
A flat helmet mirror is OK, because, being close to your eye, it provides a
larger angle of view. Also, you can scan by just turning or tilting your
head.
