1. An omni-directional self-orienting breakaway side mirror mounted on a vehicle comprising:
a clamp assembly attached to an exterior of the vehicle, the clamp assembly comprising a first mated surface;
a main chassis comprising a second mated surface and a mirror assembly;
a pair of mated surfaces comprising the first mated surface and the second mated surface, wherein the clamp assembly and main chassis communicate via the pair of mated surfaces; and
a shaft assembly passing through the clamp assembly and main chassis, thereby creating elastic compression on the pair of mated surfaces as between the clamp assembly and main chassis, to place the mirror assembly in a desired position and orientation with respect to the clamp assembly, wherein the shaft assembly further comprises a first end, a flexible middle portion, and a second end.
