It was no ones fault but even now I'm careful about mirrors protruding from the sides of golf carts. After this incident happened whenever I crossed that bridge I turned my mirror in. I don't have that cart anymore and with my Club Car I haven't had any problems with mirrors.

I always wondered if that happened with carts with the externally mounted mirrors. Unfortunate you had the problem, John. Our cart came with a left and right mirror mounted such that no part of them sticks out beyond the cart top's frame, which is nice. We get a wide enough view of what's beside us given that I asked for them both to have convex mirrors. They're not the biggest mirror surfaces you can have but they do the job for us.
