And one more car-related thingola: side view mirrors

[oneagain.livejournal.com]

After backing up and turning onto Herbert Street (with the policemen directing traffic, thanks to the policeman, that would have been a rather difficult maneuver without them since a couple of other cars were waiting in that mess), I found a spot almost immediately on the right side of the street. A woman approached me after I had gotten out of the car and suggested that I fold my driver side rear view mirror in because she had seen half the cars on that street have broken mirrors due to folks trying to get by with less than optimal space to do so, and knocking into the rear view mirrors on the parked cars to the side of them as they went by. I don't think I would have thought of that on my own, and, judging by the folks I mentioned in the last post having their cars towed, I suspect I am not alone in that.
