"Childish" Habit
“iTHE childish practice of hanging dolls and mascots in front and rear windows of cars has become far too prevalent,” says an article in “Road Safety,” the official journal of the Road Safety Council. "Such useless decorations are distracting and interrupt the driver’s valuable vision. “Equally dangerous are large, coloured cushions on back window-ledges, where they obscure vision and, in direct sunlight, cast bright reflections on the surface of
the glass, further reducing the driver’s knowledge of what is happening behind his vehicle. “Strings of white bobbles are other popular but worthless garnishing items. In today's traffic conditions it is important that the driver has as dear a view f other road-users as possible, and car manufacturers take particular pains to design windows that permit maximum possible vision. Dangling objects completely defeat this purpose,”
