I would tie tea bags to our rear view mirrors but it is against the law in PA to have anything dangling from your rear view mirror.

What an idiotic law. Why, pray tell?

What no air freshner, no handicapped parking tag?

In Texas you can hang you handgun from the mirror, LOL. (just kidding).

I'm sure Samuel Adams would be proud of your devotion to the rule of law.

That's a good law IMO. I've seen cars with so much crap hanging I don't see how they could see to drive.

Maybe you could hang your tea bags from your trailer hitch like people do with the bull nut$.

Ditto in Virginia.

Hang them from your outside mirror!

(you might want to replace the contents with styrofoam beads to avoid getting tea stains on your door, tho...)

Someone needs to go into production of public display tea bags-- big ones, in red, white and blue!

It is illegal here in MN as well. An officer friend of mine says this is his favorite daytime excuse to pull someone over because he suspects something fishy. He usually only gives a warning, unless he discovers something else or if he is treated poorly.

Too bad you don’t hang a tea bag and fight the citation, make the news, and become famous. Another thought, you would be surprised by the number, of officers, that would not “see” the tea bag smile and drive on with a smile on their face.

How bout taping an unfolded Lipton bag to the rear windshield. Call it a sticker.

What about a crucifix or St. Christopher?

Oh I know, what about the disabled? They have the blue tag hanging from the rear-view mirror.

Not necessarily:

Pennsylvania Vehicle Code Section 4524(c) provides in relevant part:

(c) Other obstruction. .No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any object or material hung from the inside rearview mirror . . . as to materially obstruct, obscure or impair the driver's vision through the front windshield or any manner as to constitute a safety hazard.

Title 75, § 4524(c).

That tells me that if it ain't materially obstructing your vision so as to constitute a safety hazard, it ain't against the law.

Hang your teabag!
