This article is about the change in the law that states that you cannot hang objects from your rear view mirror. Michigan lawmakers have passed a bill that states that you are allowed to have objects hanging from your rear view mirror, as long as they don't block your view of the road.
"Auto parts stores stock plenty of air fresheners and other gear marketed to hang behind windshields." I like this quote from Matt Helms because it makes me laugh and it's ironic because the auto part companies are selling tons of items that are illegal. I did not even know that this was illegal in Michigan, along with many others I'm sure. It is not enforced and I see everyone do it. The auto companies obviously do not see it as a problem, so why should it be?
I disagree with the ban because people should be allowed to put what they want in their car as long as its not blocking the driver's view of the road. That would be very silly to fine someone for having a rosary, air freshener, or small object hanging from the rear view mirror. I think the change in the bill will not make much of a change, however, because it does not seem to be a problem now.
