Car is parked on the side of the road, another car rides pass and breaks it off, where it is hanging, and the driver glues it back with krazy glue. How long can the glue hold the mirror before it breaks off?

It will be off by the next time you look at the car!

Couple weeks at most, maybe. Or until the first good bump. I doubt the original mirror was held on with glue. If so, it's bond to the car is only as strong as the top layer of paint.
Krazy glue also gets brittle, particularly with exposure to the elements. It should be held on mechanically, with some kind of fastener. Glue isn't going to work for very long, if at all.

Until the temperature changes a few degrees, or the car is moved, whichever comes first.
krazy glue - aka cyanoacrylate (CA or ACC) is brittle, and does not respond well to shear stress such as happens to the difference in thermal expansion between the mirror housing (typically zinc or aluminum die cast) and the car body (typically steel).
Epoxy should last indefinitely if you remove the paint and any plating from the car body and mirror housing. But it will take 24 hours to reach full strength.

hi the reason those fall off is with the aid of the fact it incredibly is been hit no longer elementary by using a passing motor vehicle and it incredibly is a ask your self it incredibly is only the mirror sometimes it many times skill what ever did it has have been given very on the area of unfavorable the factor of the motor vehicle besides. so a sparkling mirror and it incredibly is areas will could be replaced many times supper glue would paintings. yet in maximum cases it will desire a sparkling one.

About 2 seconds at highway speeds.

It total depends on how much he or she used and the weather.
if the person drives on the highway its more likey to come off due the pressure of the wind
