In the article, the argument of whether the law against decorations hanging from rearview mirrors should be disregarded or kept. Helms talks about how some drivers have been pulled over for having items from their mirrors, while others have gotten away with it for numerous years and also how that if drivers are allowed to decorate their rearview mirrors, then it should be specified as to what they are allowed to hang from them.
Helms discovers “Richard Pentecost has driven for 30 years with a rosary hanging from his rearview mirror and has never been stopped or ticketed for it -- even when police pulled him over for other infractions.” This makes me laugh a little, because government has told police departments to enforce it, but they clearly have separate opinions about the law.
I, myself, am not a fan of decorations hanging from a rearview mirror. Building up trashy necklaces and dangly things can begin to look dumb and unorganized. Despite my opinion though, I do not believe that this should be illegal. People should be smart enough to make their own decisions as to what is acceptable to hang from their rearview mirrors and what not to. Like a beach with no lifeguard with signs that say “Swim to your own Risk”, drivers should know what the risks are if they hang fuzzy dice from their mirrors. It should not be a law that needs to be enforced. So what is the solution to all this chaos? Do not let drivers who are stupid enough to obstruct their vision on the road. It is as easy as that.
Simple but very nice decoration.I like so much.Thanks for nice blog.
