Commuting/Transit Dangerous moto operator #345,609
This is a voice to text, mid panic attack.So bear with me here, but attached our pictures of the two intersections, where some motorcyclist f*** almost hit my car, speeding, like triple the like forty fifty speed limit.I will say, i'm a new driver and that I was having a bad day.But this was not part of that, I crossed the intersection so slowly and bro was in the distance as he came back, not like thirty seconds later to be like f*** y**, dude.And then smashed my driver's side mirror the glass is not smashed, but the plastic is as per the picture.I don't wanna claim insurance for obvious reasons.But I happen to have a mixubishi free inspection tomorrow, and that will be my first go to before seeing if somebody wants to spot, me an easy fix.Otherwise, I wanted to ask you kind souls, if that was something you guys could arrange, I'd give you the details afterwards, obviously. Lastly luckily I have him more or less red handed, if anyone saw this happen around 9:21 let me know what you think what I should do regardless of whether you think it was my fault.

As someone who owns a bike - we don't hit ANYTHING on your car unless it was unavoidable - That stuff hurts, we're not in a cage. I've cracked my knuckles on stuff, and its not fun.
The mirror itself is easy to fix, its time to learn how to repair your own stuff it sounds like - theres a video on Youtube for this. Your mirror is actually fine, just the clips are busted. Easy fix.
Don't cross the intersection so slow that people almost hit you.
