I drove today!! For most people, especially seniors, this is a normal and most likely everyday occurrence. For me however, it is not. I have driven a grand total of three times in my entire life (including today). Once, in the quiet and mostly untraveled streets of kahala, another time in the kalani high school parking lot and today I drove on kalanianaole highway. It was super exciting and really scary, not only because it was only my third time ever driving, but also because I was driving with my friend, Andy in his dad's car. While I was driving, I looked into the side mirror thing and I noticed that there was a sticker that said "objects in mirror are closer than they appear." As we've learned earlier in the year, objects in mirrors are supposed to be the same distance in the mirror as they are in real life. The mirrors on the side of the cars however, are curved in a way that causes the images to appear closer than they are. These mirrors are convex and reflect the images towards the drivers eyes so that they are larger, causing our depth perception to register that they are closer with hopes of preventing accidents.
