I don't know about you, but if I missed an accident due to being alert and the offender did mean it, I move on and call it a good day.  Not here, the mirror MUST PAY!   Lol

Really, wtf? If I chased down a car and punched a mirror every time I was cut off or "not seen", there would be a lot of broken mirrors out there. I hope this guys gets a grip on himself before he winds up shot.

Didn't show the car catching up to him and squashing him like a bug though.

Too much time between offense and "punishment".  Clueless cager has no idea why some insane hooligan biker damaged his car........ but you know how those bikers are.  

Not good for the rest of us.

I have knocked a mirror off a car, but it was a lot closer call than that, and I knocked it off with my foot as the car ade contact with me. then I felt terrible as the college age girls (on the phone) followed me into a gas station and apologized profusely for her actions, asked if I was hurt or there was any damage to my bike that she needed to pay for. I apologized for the mirror and she said not to woryy about it..  Rolleyes  felt like an ass and have just avoided similar situations since then......peace love and happiness is what I'm all about Wink

The retribution should have come right at the time of the incident or at least much closer.

We all bitch and complain about bad drivers, God knows we have enough threads about them and riders are maimed or killed out there daily.

Maybe there should be more severe consequences for that kind of stupidity...

Ironic, now the car driver will be unable to check her mirror and the likelyhood of being cut off is even greater.

I agree.  The car was in camera view the whole time and I didn't get a sense that the fork dived.

Did you see the car on the right while he was following the "offending" driver at the four-way?

Well if it really did happen in Russia, the driver of the car was probably very drunk, and did not notice the bike.

For crying out loud, it did look like it was after lunch.

Nothing about that remotely resembled Russia.

The driver might have looked but that car had a pretty big C pillar.  Whatever.  Not the worst thing a driver has ever done.  If the rider wants to be seen better he should:

A:  not ride the narrowest class of vehicles on the road

B:  not have such a closing speed

C:  stay out of people's blind spots
