My mother, who lives in Illinois, has a handicap hangtag, and printed on the bottom is "remove while car is in motion" which she does (good for mom). I think that's an important rule as it creates a blind spot for the driver.
My question is if other states have the same instructions printed on the hang tag, and why so many people drive with them in place? It would appear to be a safety hazard, as it blocks the view of traffic towards the right, especially if you are short. Taking it off and storing it takes about 2 to 3 seconds.
I am tempted to encourage my state lawmaker to introduce a bill making it illegal to have anything hanging from the rearview mirror while the vehicle is in motion, since it creates a serious blind spot, which can be avoided.
You go for it. In Texas, our tags say the same thing. If more police would just pull people over and give warning, I think that would help.
