    Method for pushing out drivers side mirror? How can it be done safely?

    Almost had my arm ripped off by a Ford friend-350 yesterday and it has me rethinking the safety of pulling/pushing my drivers side mirror. The truck had ladders hanging off the sides and it was too close for comfort. Whats the official method to do it safely? My arm is more valuable than a $50 mirror!

    Want to be a driver. But had a accident.

    I had an accident today. My car is most likely total. I wasn't at fault. I have never been into an accident and have good driving record. I know Ups requires documentation of your driving record before you can drive for them. How much will this affect me?
