He drove at me to move me out of the way

Bizarre how ? Forceably pushing an electric mirror outwards beyond its maximum extension will damage it or force it out of its mounting. Go try bend a car mirror outwards, an electric mirror he posted a picture of then states the above. Accy claims no damage because he wouldnt say he smashed them would he ?
So I dont assert I just state what would be fact if it actually happened as he claims

I'm sure no electric mirrors were harmed in this altercation. the whole thing is just a symptom of fast moving life and people's sometimes aggressive attitude.

the minute you touched someone elses property you over stepped the mark. You should be able to control yourself better but i agree with another poster that if you bent the mirrors back on my car you would be walking home with your bike in bits

Loving the hypocrisy of this type of reply.

You should have cleaned his windscreen as well while you were at it. Thinking about it though, there probably wasn't time in 10 seconds.

Clean the windscreen with the special yellow wash, eh?

[QUOTE 4533554, member: 9609"]I think if you ever do get into an argument with a driver, never set off in front of them, let them go first, they may just loose the plot and drive into you.[/QUOTE]
Sadly, the nobbers reverse pretty quick too, as I've discovered to my cost and I've still no idea why they reversed at me - I'd not done anything except signal I was turning right, but maybe they'd missed their turn and didn't look in their mirrors before starting to reverse. The safest place to be is directly beside a motorist, just more than a door's width away - they can't turn quickly.

How about, in a separate parallel universe: "Excuse me, but did you realise that by driving your car so close to me, you frightened me. Could you please be more considerate in future". Driver was, reportedly, within 9" of OP's bicycle, so one assumes that this conversation could have happened.

That has worked for me once with a Boots the Chemist driver, but usually it resulted in a diatribe on how I'd somehow sinned against motoring by being on the road and not in the gutter or similar, so I gave up on it. Now I just record them and publish it, so if anyone ever searches the web for their registration plate number...

Nope I am not calling either of you anything and sorry but I disagree with mirrors been bent back and yes I have had them damaged that way so just soeaking from my experience as you are yours

What are these pathetic vehicles with mirrors that get damaged by being bent back, please? I drive along some pretty narrow roads and would hate to have one of those.

ICBA reading the whole thread.

If you read page one, it doesn't vary much until you came in.

What was the problem ? He was loading a Lottery Ticket into his car.
