No you can't take it off.
It's etech in.

There's a reason why the driver side doesn't have the text on it.
The passenger side mirror is a convex mirror.

Did you take Physics in school?

I did not take physics but GP16 is correct, in order for you to get a good view of the passenger side from the drivers seat the mirror needs to be convex, or in other words, have a slight curve to it to where the center of the mirror is more out than the edges. Because of this, it causes the objects to apear farther away. That is why the passenger mirror has that message, to be a constant reminder to the driver and so that the driver cannot say, "i thought that car was farther away", when they sideswipe them.

Damn good explanation for someone who didn't take physics.

Use a sharp knife and scratch it off.
