On way to work this morning in a 40mph zone_and on a bend doing 30 mph due to lorry in front---A Bmw coming the other way doing at least 60mph crossed center markings and killed my drivers side mirror-I stopped and picked up pieces in case a danger to anybody else and noticed glass strewn on my side of road--Bmw was gone but at least they got to do mirror and glass--I got a new mirror on way via the Bay---for a lot less than Bmw part gonna cost---so glad I got a miggy---old bus just keeps on going
