Taxicab Wars

What if you were doored by a cab and after warning the driver (more politely than he had any right to expect) to be more careful from now on - he decded to "buzz" you three blocks later. Let's say he passes you extremely closely at high speed while honking his horn. In that situation, my question is:

Would you be surprised to find his rear view mirror skittering down the street 6 blocks later?
