Default side scraped my car

So im driving down Merrick Rd, in Rockville Center, at a 3 lane area. I'm on the left lane, and this guy in an old chrysler convertible is in the middle lane. I'm about to pass the guy on the left and guess what he does... decides to go into the left lane, for no damn reason. BOOM, SOMEONES side view mirror got blown off, luckily not mine, mine didnt even bend or anything, but scraped as hell.

Ouch, this is why I always keep a close on beaters when I'm next to them, the people who drive them could care less what happens to there car. That should be a pretty expansive repair, good luck I hope it looks new again.

there are minor dents on the door edge, and he ddi have insurance, even though it wasnt under his name. Turned out it was actually a kid, 17 years young. thnkafully, at the scene he said that he was switching lanes, even though he will probably regret it now, and on the police report says he Unsafely changed lanes
