Luckily the idiot then moved out of the way, and I managed to squeeze past unharmed.

Oh and I did suffer some slight damage to my side mirror, some idiot was parked on the side of the road where parking is not allowed (a pretty common occurence here, but nevermind), and due to heavy traffic on the next lane I could barely merge in time, and barely knocked his mirror with mine. I'm using the LED side mirrors, and the lens part is now sunken in, I think the clips on the inside broke, but it's probably nothing that some superglue can't fix

Yep, got to watch out for the slow pokes. It's a good thing the Yaris is such a tiny car and has mirror that fold in and out. One time, while I was parked on the right, a Taxi that was zooming-by, between lanes, nipped the side view mirror, but it made a loud noise since dum-ass in the cab should have slowed down when making such a tight manuever. Anyways, no damage, the side mirrors just folded out and snapped back. If it was any other car, it'd have probably ripped the entire mirror out. I got out of the car to inspect the damage. The guy in the Cab car took-off.
