I had a temporary handicap placard after hip surgery and the BMV said it is illegal to drive with this on your mirror. You see it all the time.

Many states have laws against anything hanging, or attached, in a drivers view that creates a sight obstruction, not limited to mirrors. Club and event stickers on the windshield can be considered a sight obstruction in MN. And a handicap placard on the mirror, must be removed here to, when not parked.

'

Lots of dangerous Dream Catchers/Fuzzy Dice/Rosaries etc on cars around here.
I dislike any obstructions in view also even remove interior mirrors from some dual side mirror cars.

Maybe it's the lawyer in me but I would then just remove the rear view mirror and hang things in its place. The way the statutes are written, if there is no mirror there, the case would be subject to a summary judgement for failing to prove a specific element of the crime had occurred.

Or in the alternative, I would just get a half dozen other rear view mirrors and hang them from the first rear view mirror.

You wouldn't be able to drive your car because it wouldn't pass inspection. Inside rearview mirror is a mandatory item. Just like an outside left sideview mirror. Right is optional. But in the event that your RVM fell off and you were too lazy to fix it and you were stopped by a Cop, you could receive a ticket and a fine.

Just get a NASCAR rearview mirror:
