Are Car Hanging Ornaments Allowed?
2 Answers
Cars can have hanging ornaments, but only under the condition that they do not obstruct the driver's line of sight. According to Article 62 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," it is prohibited to hang or place items within the front and rear windows of a motor vehicle's cabin that may impede the driver's vision. Below is relevant information about car hanging ornaments: 1. Meaning of hanging ornaments: For cars, hanging ornaments are an essential item in many vehicles. People often hang car ornaments based on personal preferences, but many of these ornaments carry special meanings. In the feng shui of car ornaments, the selection focuses on the material rather than the shape. 2. Choosing hanging ornaments: Regardless of the type of car hanging ornament chosen, as long as it aligns with one's five elements (Wu Xing) attributes, it is suitable. Then, consider the ornament's shape and the owner's preferences. As long as the ornament follows feng shui principles, it can bless the owner with peace and good fortune. For example, if a white crystal ornament is hung in the car, since crystal belongs to the water element in the five elements, it can be used by those who lack water in their fate. However, for those who lack fire in their fate, white crystal is not suitable; instead, they should use red or pink crystals, which belong to the fire element.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I believe hanging ornaments in the car should be considered on a case-by-case basis. In principle, it's acceptable to hang small decorations under the steering wheel or on the rearview mirror to add a personal touch, but safety details and regulations must be taken into account. First, if the ornament is too large or swings excessively, it can easily obstruct the driver's view or distract attention while driving, which is especially dangerous on highways—any accidents could harm the driver and passengers. Second, traffic regulations vary by location; some cities enforce strict checks, and if an ornament blocks the driver's line of sight, it could result in fines or even prevent the car from passing its annual inspection. From an aesthetic standpoint, I recommend choosing a lightweight, secure ornament and using a soft cord to fasten it—avoid hanging heavy objects. Also, refrain from hanging hard metal items that could fly off during sudden braking and cause injury. Always inspect your car before driving and remove any risky ornaments promptly.
