Warning: Driving in St. Vincent is Hazardous to Health

The title says it all. Yes, I was in another automobile accident tonight. No, no one got hurt, and no, it was not my fault. A taxi driver was too far over, and we clipped mirrors. His car suffered no damage, and only the glass of the driver's side-view mirror was cracked on my car (but the housing and everything else is fine.) He tried to claim that I crossed over into his lane because some glass shards from the mirror were found on his side of the road. Two problems with that theory: 1) There is no such thing as a "lane" in St. Vincent, because there are no lines on the road (actually, technically it was a "highway"), and 2) when the mirrors hit, they both swung in towards the car, causing the glass to bounce off the side of the car, and land far on the opposite side of the road. But since it will only cost about $10 US to fix, I really didn't feel like explaining forces, vectors and collision physics to the Vincentian.
Now I have a headache, so it's time to take some acetaminophen and go to bed.
