Can Cars Have Hanging Ornaments?
2 Answers
Car cabins can have decorative ornaments, but these decorations must not affect driving safety or obstruct the driver's view. Below are the requirements and functions of car hanging ornaments: Requirements for car hanging ornaments: They should be small and exquisite so as not to obstruct the driving view; the main part should not be too long to avoid hitting the glass when braking; they should sway slightly while driving, and some may produce soft sounds, which can effectively relieve driver fatigue and enhance safety. Functions of car hanging ornaments: Most car hanging ornaments are for good luck, and many car owners hang a large "Fu" character on their rearview mirrors. However, under the vast market demand, the monotonous "Fu" character can no longer meet people's market needs and desires, leading to an increasing variety of car hanging ornament styles on the market.
As an ordinary person who has driven for many years, I must say that hanging ornaments in cars comes with quite a few hidden dangers. The most common issue is distracted driving—the dangling ornament on the rearview mirror can easily divert your attention, especially during turns or reversing, making it particularly hazardous. In emergency braking situations, it might even fly off, shattering the windshield or injuring someone. I’ve personally witnessed a friend nearly getting into trouble because of this. Moreover, traffic regulations are strict about it. For instance, Chinese traffic laws require that no items in the car should obstruct the driver’s view, with fines amounting to several hundred yuan for violations, and similar rules apply abroad. Safety should always come first, so I recommend avoiding hanging anything. If you really want to personalize your car, consider securing small plush toys in corners or using stickers, ensuring they don’t interfere with your driving visibility or operations. Regularly checking the interior environment is crucial—it helps maintain aesthetics without compromising safety. In short, safety outweighs cuteness; don’t risk major consequences for minor gains.
