Stuff dangling from the rear view mirror ?
Discussion
My wife got given a "Jelly Belly" car air freshener in a secret Santa thing, it allegedly smells of Blueberries, now, I have smelt Blueberries and it doesn't smell like that, its a tangy, acrid, sickly, vomit inducing artificial approximation, it is like having kids in the car eating noxious blue sweets in the car and all breathing on you, it is vile but the worst bit is she has hung the offending article from the rear view mirror, it looks like this,
It is about four inches long and waggles about (Fnarr Fnarr
) in your line of sight, I find it distracting and remove it, get back in and it has appeared again, next step will be for it to meet with an unfortunate accident, would put it down the grid but concerned its pungency may render all of Cheshires water table blueberry flavoured.
is there any law about dangly crap hanging from rear view mirrors ? why do people insist on doing it, little boxing gloves, CD's (whats that about ?), furry dice (maybe a while back) and god knows what else.
Do you dangle anything from your rear view mirror ?

Personally I don't have anything dangling from the mirror as it's distracting and could easily obscure a child running out or an indicator on a car beside you in traffic etc. Plus IMO it ruins the interior aesthetics, some scrappy little thing hanging from a string.
I really don't understand people either when I see them with a sat nav sucking itself to the windscreen right infront of their face, when it could be lower down and not obstructing their view.
I guess the amount of crap covering their windscreen or blocking the view ahead is indirectly proportional to their observation skills. My sister often has a tree shape thing hanging from her mirror, I asked her once about it and she seemed to care more about the reeking smell it made or the way "it looked cool" and "trendy" rather than having a good field of vision. If it wasn't right infront of her car and something she was about collide with she simply didn't care.

ks that all about?????I hate things hanging from the rearview mirror - and if I borrow the OH's car I remove it before I drive. I think I have managed to convince her that the rear grab handle is just as effective.
On the topic of satnavs in the middle of the 'screen, I recently saw someone with a toddler in the front passenger seat who was watching a full-size iPad that had been suckered to the windscreen in front. The effectively wiped out 50% of the driver's vision as it was only a small car.
FWIW, as the 'screen in the MX-5 is small, I put my satnav on the little quarterlight where the door meets the A-pillar.
