Minor disagreements with refuse trucks

It wasn’t a great start to the day. I was driving along on my way to my first visit (feeling quite calm as the traffic had been surprisingly good) when a refuse lorry in the nearside lane tried to squeeze past me and in doing so, broke my nearside wing mirror. Despite my attempts to signal him, he remained oblivious to the fact he’d damaged my car and proceeded on his journey. Unfortunately I couldn’t read his number plate properly so I will have to take my car into the garage tomorrow and pay for a new wing mirror myself.
