Glad ive chilled out this weekend i can say! Full of a cold anyway, on Friday, usual trip, went to Basildon, no problems light traffic made good time. Took ages to get tipped, no problem thinks I, just another slow one…
Coming through basildon, i’m sitting at the traffic lights under the railway bridge, i’ve positioned myself over both lanes to stop people cutting inside/outside as they do in the rush hour (plus lanes are a bit narrow) when it merges into one lane further up the road.
There is traffic behind me, and a few cars in front, lights go green and we all pull off, apart from a Van who overtakes all the cars behind me, virtually on the wrong side of the road, and then proceeds to barge in front of me then clouting my mirror 
He comes steaming round, and i says through the window “what you do that for?!” of which he replied in a rather angry lots of sweary fashion. So (whilst i was shaking, being my FIRST accident ever in a car or lorry) i took his details off his van, he took my reg, truck name etc… then the bugger got in and drove off! didnt ask for a number/address at all?
But when he was pulling off, the car driver behind me had walked up to give me his details (witness), im just a bit worried if van man reports me to the police for not reporting an accident? Told the boss etc… giving diagrams and stuff, i wouldnt care, but the hole in the mirror plastic backing is only the size of a golf ball 
Then got back to where i park, drop trailer and slowly pulling of then TWANG…pssssssssss. (Lots of sweary bits here!) and cue my nice trip home taking longer as dipstick here had to fix the suzie 
Been a lovly weekend, nice weather, even washed and waxed the car for a change… thats it now for another few months 
Am i worrying too much about that nice van driver, or what? It literally only made a small mark on his panel, not even a dent i dont think, although i took a few pictures of the damage and whole side of the van encase he gets cheeky!
