I was in relatively heavy traffic on a 4 lane highway one day when I saw a car coming the other way start to wander across the centre line. I thought it would make a head on with the car in front of me and I started to brake and prepare to take avoiding action. As it turned out there was only a clash of mirrors with the car in front of me and the bastard responsible continued without stopping. The traffic was too heavy and fast for me to be able to turn and chase him.

The driver's side windows of the car in front of me was shattered by the impact of the mirror and, with the shock, the woman driving the car did well to keep it completely under control despite being showered with broken glass.

She pulled to the side and both myself and a small truck stopped to see if she was ok. Other than being shaken she had some tiny cuts from the flying glass. I later wrote a witness statement for her because she was concerned about being blamed; it was a company vehicle. A couple of weeks later I received a thank you note and a lottery ticket in the mail.
