Drivers Rear View Mirror

[sinderella]

If you have anything hanging from your mirror you are not fit to hold a licence

[Jeza]

Why would someone have CD's hanging from the mirror?

[shoota]

They reflect evil spirits apparently - especially if by Take That...

[boxtops]

Ah look at this link - it's suggested that drivers do it because they think the discs will reflect speed cameras...... http://bbs.scoobynet.com/non-scooby-related-4/303460-whats-with-hanging-a-cd-from-your-rear-view-mirror.html - either that or as it says, it's a religious thing. I have noticed taxi drivers often have religious icons hanging there (including, I must say, St Christopher medals).

[Obiter]

Yes you could. Your title suggested that the problem was caused by an obstruction of the rear view mirror when in fact it wass the obstruction of the windscreen.

[boxtops]

No, it didn't - it said "hanging from your rear view mirror" - nothing about the driver LOOKING in the mirror.....

Can I keep the Rosary beads hanging from mine?, I need all the help I can get.

[Obiter]

So do I. 3 Decades of the Rosary for me tomorrow, please, plus one Pater Noster, one Gloria Dei and one Salve Regina.

[Mamyalynne]

Deal.

Speaking of Taxi drivers I know someone who called a taxi, 5 minutes in to the journey he stopped, took out his prayer mat and began to pray at the side of the road.

[SpikeyBush]

Jeza that sounds like Mr. B off the Peter Kay DVDs. Was the taxi a 1985 Mazda 323 by any chance?

[hc4361]

I know the same chap, Jeza

[douglas9401]

Allahu akbar, apparently. There may be a communication problem, Decca/Mecca.

[Svejk]

its a wonder the driver waited for him.

[hc4361]

Svejk, that made me laugh.

[Jeza]

This was in North London. She never said the make of car. She did say she told him she would refuse to pay unless he got back in the car now. He didn't and she walked away.

[SpikeyBush]

Most minicab drivers couldn't find their backside with both hands, let alone their assigned destination. So how did this chap know which direction Mecca was?

[silliemillie]

Hopkirk - can't sack the tester, it went to the Ford main dealer where I bought the car new.

[Obiter]

Satnav☺

As long as it's not on the windscreen

SpikeyBush, given that they're speaking to an imaginary being with an endless supply of virgins and an apparent love of violent death, cardinal points of the compass are redundant anyway.
