Title: The dangers of air fresheners hung from rear view mirrors
Post by: Rods2 on 25 April 2014, 17:04:16
This man has been convicted of causing death by careless driving, where one of the factors was the amount of air fresheners and items hanging from his rear view mirror which obstructed his view.

Its OK, I'm over it.

The MOT man did the right thing failing mine on an air freshener that I couldn't see due to the shape of the autodim mirror, and the way it hung.

And of course, I was OK when I got home and watched one of those chavtastic police programmes on telly, and noticed all the gonks they had hanging off the windscreen.  No to mention every idiot I follow every morning with so much electronic junk glued to the windscreen that their visibility is impaired so badly, they have to drive 20mph under the speed limit.

So, yup, I'm over it.

NOT!
