Closer than they appear

“Objects in the the mirror may be closer than they appear.” Actually, I’d like to know what the literal translation of this is. I bet it isn’t exactly that.
There’s a PSA campaign currently. The sides of buses are painted bright yellow with sayings like “Changing lanes suddenly can be confusing.” or “Speeding is not thrilling when it goes out of control.” We saw a bus driver being confused by someone changing lanes suddenly just last night. Seems to me that speeding is at its most thrilling when it goes out of control.
They should be drilling into people’s head that children should be belted in. We are frequently seeing children roaming around the inside of moving vehicles and/or sitting in the driver’s lap. Considering the cultural emphasis on family, it is strange that the importance of child seat belt safety hasn’t occurred to them.
