Thanks I understand the concept but the mirrors are such low resolution that they should not be allowed!
If you look at the left hand mirror it is rendered in a much higher resolution and looks just fine. The rear one is just a smeary mess especially in motion (try it in game).
Here are pics of each zoomed in by the same amount. Maybe the rear mirror is enlarging the view, acting like a magnifying glass.

In a different car the rear mirror is the same resolution as the side mirrors. Maybe they had to reduce the resolution because there are 5 mirrors! It looks awful though.
