It can be done, I've seen it happen. The usual gig is to wait till you come to lights and wrench it off.
or fold in the mirror. but actually damaging it I wouldnt do.

I've had to kick out at a few cars, more a kind of tap with the outside of the foot than a kick. When they decided to change lanes as i was parallel to them, but nothing too serious. Just a friendly reminder to check properly.
What is easier to do is when at the lights you open the passenger door. They hate that
Hope it wasn't too traumatic for him! Get well soon.
PS yes come to think perhaps you should have paid her a visit to see if she was hurt and tell her not to worry about the scratch as it was covered by the insurance anyway.
You've said some 'silly' things, Jacob, but that is a corker!
Get a grip - I didn't expect anybody to believe that I thought wing mirrors are designed to whack cyclists.
I guess you have never been hit by one then. I got hit on the elbow, admittedly not the rear, by a wing mirror while I was walking along a pavement. It hurt like heck. It was in town and fortunately the van was not going too fast or my arm would have been fractured. He pulled in close to the curb as another silly person was pulling out around a parked car on the other side of the road. Needless to say the driver didn't stop. I thought at the time he must have heard it as it made a heck of a bang, but he probably had the radio on and was blisfully unaware of what was going on outside his comfortable bubble.
Friend of mine had his hand broken by a wing mirror. He was trying to slow down a speeder on a country lane as his wife and child were walking close behind.
So why say it?
soon be cameras so the AWMB will be disbanded
Thanks. He's doing fine. When you're four, such things mend well.
I hope the wee boy makes a speedy recovery!!
