The phrase "objects in (the) mirror are closer than they appear" is a safety warning that is required to be engraved on passenger side mirrors of motor vehicles in many places such as the United States, Canada, Nepal, India, and South Korea. It is present because while these mirrors' convexity gives them a useful field of view, it also makes objects appear smaller. Since smaller-appearing objects seem farther away than they actually are, a driver might make a maneuver such as a lane change assuming an adjacent vehicle is a safe distance behind, when in fact it is quite a bit closer. The warning serves as a reminder to the driver of this potential problem.

  • 사물이 거울에 보이는 것보다 가까이 있음은 자동차 사이드 미러에 적혀있는 문구이다. 자동차나 물체가 멀리 있는 것처럼 보여도 실제로는 가까이 있기 때문에 사고를 방지하기 위해 적혀있으며, 미국, 캐나다, 오스트레일리아의 자동차의 사이드미러에는 'Objects in mirror are closer than they appear'라고 적혀있다. (ko)
  • La frase "los objetos en el espejo están más cerca de lo que aparentan" es una advertencia de seguridad que se requiere para grabarse en los espejos retrovisores del lado del pasajero de los vehículos motorizados en muchos lugares, como los Estados Unidos, Canadá, Nepal, India y Corea del Sur. Está presente porque, si bien la convexidad de estos espejos les da un largo campo de visión útil, también hace que los objetos parezcan más pequeños. Dado que los objetos que parecen más pequeños parecen estar más lejos de lo que realmente están, un conductor puede realizar una maniobra, como un cambio de carril, suponiendo que un vehículo adyacente está a una distancia segura detrás, cuando en realidad está un poco más cerca.​ La advertencia sirve como un recordatorio para el conductor de este prob (es)
