Are such mirrors adequate from a safety aspect, or too limited in field of view?
How do the cops and regulations deal with this?

My 17" rear-view convex mirror is my rear-view HQ because there are virtually no blind spots :
I have an exterior bicycle mirror only on the driver's side. It is usable by day but not as much at night. You can also see one of my two interior side-view mirrors. The interior side-view mirrors are also convex. Otherwise, they would not be useful. The interiors are insurance but are rarely used in practice. The rear view mirror is just too good.

This is my overall setup :
In terms of cops, I am pretty sure I was followed in my drivers "blind spot" at least once. However, because I don't have a blind spot, I watched him in my mirrors. I think he measured up my setup and realized that I was going above and beyond "the spirit" of the law, so he left me alone.
When you do this stuff, you will have to acclimatize to the new mirrors. Once you get used to it, however, I think you are actually safer than OEM. Convex is *everything*.
