Obstructing your view of driving? Really?

This article talks about how there is a law that prohibites things to be hung from your rear-view mirror but, how few officers actually enforce the law.
"We don't want drivers to drive down the road with their vision obstructed," Bolger said. "The bill in its current form would still prohibit things that obstruct the view of the driver." I like this quote because I think this statement sums up what the government is trying to do. I agree with what Bolger has to say. I believe that some things should be ok to put on the mirror that do not affect your view of driving but larger things that impair your vision of the road should still be ban because that could be hazardous to other drivers. Overall, I agree that there should be some type of ban on large items placed on the rear-view mirror but small things should not bring up an issue. No one should be recieving a ticket for an air freshener on their rear-view mirror because it is harmless to the drivers vision. On the other hand, larger things should probably be banned.
