How do people ride a motorcycle and knock a car mirror off?
Especially a Camry? I never tried it...but I would think that you have to really wack that thing to break it off. Are we talking about the housing or just the mirror? I'm pretty strong and I think I think I could do damage if I were in put in that situtation but jeez. At the very least that would leave your hand sore. What if you hit it right on the edge... I don't think a sore hand is worth it. Not judging anyone else...just saying |

I simply leaned over and struck the top of his mirror in a downward striking motion. it didn't come all the way off....it was held on by the power mirror wires. Didn't leave my hand sore. ________ Problems From Nexium Last edited by Kaneman; 05-09-2011 at 09:14 PM.. |

The mirrors are actually pretty easy to take off.

Well, if I wasn't afraid of careening into a concrete barier, I might have done it, but the thought of living was a bigger part of what my brain was consuming

For those people who have knocked off mirrors...have you considered the damage they may cause other drivers on the road who are doing nothing wrong and just driving down the road? Not judging - just asking?
I can imagine it would feel good to damage the car of some asshole endangering your life....but what if the mirror bounces and nails some other driver's windsheild? Or dents the fender or hood of their car? Of if some other vehicle ends up driving over it or they try to swerve to avoid driving over it and possibly cause an accident? Just wondering out loud. |
