Driving along to work this morning after picking up a coffee which takes me through an industrial area with little parking so people often pull off to the side of the road.
Clipped the side view mirror of a parked/idling van with my factory camping mirror (wasn't extended). His sort of exploded on impact. He had his window down and was covered with glass but no cuts, just a bit of a shower in his lap. Of course it's my fault even though he was parked illegaly.
Anyway, ZERO damage to the camping mirror. It folded in on impact. A little bit of a scrape as it curves to the underside, hardly noticeable. I was very impressed.
Now if I had a lift, I would have missed him!
