While I don’t think laws should make it a legal offense to hang things from your car’s rearview mirror, I personally think common sense suggests it’s a bad idea.
Common sense isn’t common anymore.
In my experience, when you see that stuff dangling from the mirror, at least 90% of the time it’s a woman driving.
But the most disturbing rear view mirror trend is those who have taken to dangling their disgusting face masks from the mirrors. Now that just totally grosses me out. You might as well be hanging your dirty underwear for all to see.
“Obstructed view” laws have been on the books for decades. My college roommate and his GF got in trouble with the cops while driving(a warning ticket) by such a statute on a Sunday morning!
