Bitch. Last time a woman did that to me she lost her wing mirror. In fact, if I remember correctly I think it was a blue Punto too! (or maybe a blue Polo?) But most of the time a simple sideways slap of the offending wing mirror will cause the driver to take notice, but if they've seriously endangered your safety then a hard vertically-struck fist will take the wing mirror off surprisingly often. Just make sure you do it in traffic so there's no chance they'll catch you up and run you off the road. That happened to me once, I won't make that mistake again...
