BillyVance 34 #1 July 28, 2010 So, let's discuss. What does it make you think of the person who hangs stuff from the rear view mirror in their vehicles?

cocheese 0 #5 July 28, 2010 These people are not very intelligent. Hanging junk from the rear view mirror is an obstuction of view. It's a distraction too. This tells me they aren't trying hard enough and that they think driving is a carnival. They probably have covers over their lights too. Oh and a handi capped parking permit which says "remove before driving" on the bottom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #6 July 28, 2010 Yeah, I figure if you hang stupid shit you're on an ego trip or showing off or trying to look cool. But your POV is spot on. Now if it's a scented pine tree, you need to clean your fucking car out!

squirrel 0 #8 July 29, 2010 after glueing the mirror twice in my jeep (yes, i used the proper stuff) it fell off again, and remains on the floor to this day. so, i can not hang anything from the rear view mirror. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

If your eyes/mind are used to seeing motion in that sector of the windshield, they might not notice movement outside the car that needs to be noticed.

skyflower_bloom 0 #11 July 29, 2010 i used to hang beads jewelry etc. as a dumb teenager lol. now at least in my state, it is illegal (yes for good reason as mentioned, though i think people do much worse things to make driving less safe..) and last thing i want, even though i obviously don't drive w/ anything illegal or what have you, is for cops to have one extra ticket to give me- NOT worth it! or a pretext for a traffic stop (though i guess i can honestly say as a blonde Caucasian female i can't say i really worry about racial profiling... i realize that it is a reality though..) also those generic air fresheners from the rear-view the tree shape ones-- i always associate with people smoking pot in their car, yeah it's dumb but it's a stereotype i cannot seem to shake (and in a college course i took, intro to criminal justice, apparently the cops think that is one sign of marijuana lol.. you have been duly forewarned)"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

popsjumper 2 #16 July 29, 2010 I would have loved to hang my ex from the mirror...but then I would have to see her every day. So. I substituted a picture of Linda Lovelace...then, at least, there was a remote possibility of a BJ.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Don't fool yourself into thinking different, especially if you want to continue riding. like i said in my post, it is illegal in my state to the best of my knowledge, and i don't do it-- but what about a GPS mounted? Would that not obscure vision as much as, or more than? That said, i cannot get anywhere without it.. right now my mount broke and i have to fix it so i have been setting on the passenger seat or my lap, but then i have to use my hands and eyes to manually hold it up while driving and feel this is more dangerous.. so what is the solution here? slightly off topic, but while we are discussing not adding risk for no good reason-- how does this come into play, since it is a similar concept. oh and i find it hilariously ironic the people who hang something there for "good luck." like increasing their risk profile in driving and their likelihood of getting ticketed is a form of good luck, right on "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

It creates NO obstruction to vision whatsoever, and can be viewed wiht a slight glance, (same as wing mirrors or rear view mirror) I have seen some that are almost smack in the middle of their vision friggin moronsYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!
