Oops, that was close ...

... a near miss while cruising at about 70 mph.

Well, "near miss" is not quite correct, as there was an impact, but luckily the mirrors were at the same height. So no damage was done, just a cracking sound. Lucky me.

Another driver, who was passing in the fast lane, did not pay attention while changing lanes. That car swerved a bit into my direction and I thought "No, you're not doing that!" and blowed the horn. But too late, the cars made contact. I could not dodge, as I was in the middle lane passing another car on a three lane road.

Whatever, my 75 is still shiny. So I'm quite happy. :lol:

Powerfold mirrors? Sounds good to me.

But on a second thought, much too much work involved.
