I use a mirror with a slight convex curve - like the outside of a spoon, but a lot less bent. But it's hard to find a good one. If you fasten a flat mirror most places on a bicycle, the mirror image will shake around so you can't see it. Also, in a convex mirror, you can see more of the road. But if it's too much bent, too round, then the image is distorted and you can't judge where a vehicle in the mirror really is.

The last mirror I bought was described as convex, but actually is flat, so I'm planning to get a piece of car mirror glass cut by a glazier to fit in the frame. That glass is just a little convex.

How can you distinguish between a plane concave and a convex mirror without touching them?

How can you distinguish between a plane mirror concave mirror and a convex mirror by merely looking at the mirror?

If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.

Is it possible to find whether a mirror is plane concave or convex from the nature of image of an object?

Yes possible. If we place an object somehow close to the mirror and observe the image. If the image is of the same size as that of the object then it is a PLANE mirror If the image is magnified and erect, then it will be a concave mirror If the image is dimisnished then the mirror is convex in nature.
