Detailed Solution

Drivers prefer convex mirror because it forms an erect, diminished, virtual image close to the eye and covers a wide area of the road behind them.
Drivers use a convex mirror as a rearview mirror in their vehicles because a convex mirror always forms virtual, erect and diminished images regardless of the object's distance. A convex mirror allows the driver to view a large area of the traffic behind them. The convex mirror forms a small image than the object. This is why convex mirrors are used as back-view mirrors in vehicles.
