Handicapped parking mirror tags. Read and heed.

[trof]

ALL cars have blind spots.
Windshield pillars, door pillars, etc.
If you're not constantly moving your head (your actual 'point of view'), especially at intersections, there can be large, hard, moving objects hiding in that blind spot.

On this subject...many of us seniors have 'handicapped parking' mirror tags.
If you read the tag it states "REMOVE BEFORE DRIVING".
I keep mine on the dash and hang it AFTER I park.
How many idiots do you see, everyday, driving around with their "I'm Special" tag boldly hanging from the rear-view mirror?
This creates a HUGE blind spot in a very dangerous location.
Police should start issuing at least warning tickets to violators.

2. I stick mine in my visor until I need it.

I don't see a lot of drivers with the hang tag on their mirrors but I've seen a few. I don't think it's smart to obstruct your view especially in the windshield.
