Drivers and wing mirrors. Today's odd experience. - Page 2 - SV650.org

I tried to tell a driver she had a flat tyre, properly flat too not just a bit low - although the way she was driving I think she hadn't realised - she locked the doors and gave me the finger.
Now if it had been dark, and we were in the middle of nowhere I might understand her reticence, but it was broad daylight in the middle of town with hundreds of people around, I don't know what she thought I was going to do.

That is probably the make-up mirror you stupid boy.

Thing is allot of people are intimidated by motorcyclists.
So just ignore you and hope you go away without ripping off the mirror or pillage and rape there villages.
Just move on and don't scare the horses

I've probably told the story, but I had occasion to remove a mirror once.

So did Red 675, and paid a pretty heavy fine and a record for the privilege

He tried to hit me. Or at least tried to make me hit him.

I'd say it comes under self defence and that I used reasonable and not excessive force.

He shan't be doing it again anytime soon I'd imagine.

No video evidence it's just a fine upstanding car driving word against the nasty hells angle motorcyclist.
Who's the magistrates going to believe

I removed a mirror casing this morning from a taxi on Finchley Road. Oops. Must remember how wide those GS bars are.
