In article , Mark Rand says...

I must admit that on a couple of occasions in my mis-spent youth I have held
out my gloved hand when passing morons in cars who have pulled out in front
of, or carved up me on my motor bike. The drivers side mirrors shear off very
cleanly and make a satisfying bang. Didn't cause any problems for that class
of drivers, since they don't tend to use mirrors anyway :-|.

I had occasion to lock mirrors on time with a car travelling the
other way on a twisty road. She was over the line, I was near it
but completely on my side. Her driver side mirror connected
with my truck's driver side mirror.

The bang was impressive, and because my window was open at the
time, when the mirror swivelled around on its mount and exploded,
all the glass blew right in front of my face and landed in the
passenger footwell - I got nary a scratch.

I think her jaguar sedan mirror cost a lot more to replace
than my chevy luv westcoaster.
