What's hanging from yours?

[boxtops]

I've just heard on the Today programme about a survey of things hanging from rear view mirrors in cars. There is apparently an urban myth that you can deflect a speed camera by having a shiny CD hanging in your front window.... here's the article about it from the DM. http://www.dailymail....1-5m-car-mirrors.html

Apparently there is also a myth that you can beat a speed camera by driving at the correct legal speed. Noone has ever had the idea to put this to the test, though.

Nothing because it obscures vision. Apparently it's an MOT fail for that reason too.

Remember the blow-up dolls in the Trotter's yellow three wheeler - hilarious.....

Until last Monday nothing. Then we went to the car-wash and asked for "The works" which included a cardboard rose air freshener which we hung from the rear view mirror. It doesn't really smell of anything and it will be binned before long.

I saw someone the other day with their sat nav stuck absolutely in the middle of the driver's view!

I had a wasp buzzing round my mirror on the way to work this morning. Went to swat it, missed, caught the bluetooth clipped to my sun visor knocking it off, tried to catch it and knocked the main beams on, dazzling a copper. Took some explaining and a mandatory breath test

Nothing, I like to see where I'm going and not be distracted by a swingy thingy!

I go with nothing. Too much of a distraction, plus, anything obstructing your view out of a windscreen could just be enough to hide a pedestrian, cyclist, or motorcyclist. So, hang your air fresheners from the roof mounted rear passenger grab handle instead, on the side behind the driver.
