Reminds me of the time when my college bus was hit by a truck and had the mirror knocked out - we were stopped at an intersection - the next thing we know, the bus driver climbed out his door, onto the back of the truck (heavy traffic), forced the truck to stop just beyond the intersection, unscrewed their mirror and brought it back with a triumphant smile on his face 😀 The cop at the intersection couldn't stop laughing 😀 This happened back in India.

lol and the ccops really cant do anything about it either... most of them are pussies..

LOL at updated summary 😀 Sorry, no pics though - this happened back in 1992-93 - I don't think I had even seen a palmheld camcorder at the time 😛

Had this happen to a friend of mine. On the way to the autobody shop (admittedly a week later) he got pulled over by a cop about the mirror, and was given a ticket for it. He asked the cop how the fsck he was supposed to get it to the autobody shop to fix the mirror if he wasn't allowed to drive the car? The cop just shrugged and gave him his ticket. What an ass . . .

It's illegal to drive without a passenger side mirror? Wow, didn't know that. I remember when most cars didn't even HAVE them.

I thought as long as you have two rear viewing/facing mirrors, its ok? maybe thats just in cali.

Not even. My dad's truck doesn't have a passenger side mirror nor did my car up until 4 years ago. I think the Camry is first car we've had that has a passenger side mirror. Never been given one bit of grief about it. You only need it if you don't have a rear-view mirror. I'd go fight that ticket.
 
If it's any consolation our 2003 Maxima SE is in the body shop right now for $1700 worth of damage to the driver's side doors because some idiot in a raised truck didn't see my wife as he backed his truck into the side of our car.

Going to hit your insurance company up I assume?
Not worth it. I don't need my payments going up for an $80 mirror.

Hold on. How the hell can they increase your premiums when your car was parked? 😕 That's so fvcked up.
 
Sounds like my friend's bad luck. He was parked in my high school's parking lot, and the busses made a sharp left turn to get to where they dropped people off. Well, he was parked right next to where the bus turned, and the back bumper of his car got partially torn off by a bus that didn't make its turn quite wide enough. Thankfully his car was a beater as it was, but he was pissed.

Unless he has a 2003 and he swapped with out his clears for smoked tails from a 2000-2002 SE (and rims), his model year did not have a 6 speed gearbox so I don't know what you're ranting about.

Wouldn't the bus driver/bus company be responsibile?
