All police vehicles are provided with flat mirrors. While the curved surface of convex mirrors causes cars and other objects to appear smaller and farther away, flat mirrors provide a true image which reduces the likelihood of misjudging the distance of objects.
WARNINGObjects in mirrors are closer than they appear. Use caution when judging distance of objects in mirrors. Failure to judge correct distances could result in death or serious injury. (00033a)
Always adjust the rear view mirrors to clearly reflect the area behind the motorcycle before riding.
NOTE
Adjust mirrors so you can see a small portion of your shoulders in each mirror. This will help you establish the relative distance of vehicles to the rear of your motorcycle.
