Default The Question Is: Why?

Why can't people leave my car alone? I'm not talking about positive experiences here. I'm talking the idiots.

Not too long ago, I posted about the idiot that opened his van door into my car and took a chip out of the paint.

Then yesterday, I had someone not paying attention let their car wander from their lane into mine on a main city street. When I drive I always watch my driving and the people around me because you never know what someone will do. The other day I witnessed a guy make a left turn from a through lane, not even a turn lane, and wipe out a guy coming from the opposite direct - he wasn't expecting that to happen and either was I. I did the good citizen thing and pulled over, called the police, and gave my "expert" witness testimony to the police about what I saw.

This idiot though is right next to me and I see him start drifting. I want to speed up, but there's a car in front of me preventing that.

I ended up slamming on my brakes because this guy is moving across the line and doesn't seem to care. Our mirrors collide and he continues on his merry way moving now into my lane. I pull off to check the damage thinking this guy did more than just clip the mirror and thinking he'll pull over too as it's very obvious he hit me. I was hands free on my cell phone at the time talking with a family member who heard the mirrors collide.

Fortunately (can I really say that?) all he did was clip my mirror resulting in some black finish marring my graphite paint, some deep scratches on the bottom of the mirror and mirror post. Thankfully nothing else such as the fender, rims/tires, etc. Any idea how to at least get rid of the black crap off?

If I knew that's all it was, I wouldn't have stopped to look and chased him down so he could pay for the damages. I don't know why the cars behind me didn't stop with me to at least give me the idiots license.

Just leave my car alone!!!!!
