Deacorating those Mirrors

The government is considering getting rid of the law that forbids people to hang objects from their rear view mirrors. They believe that if the object does not obscruct the driver's view it should be made legal.

"Bolger dismissed concerns about selective enforcement, saying police "can't stop every single car on the road for every single violation."" This quote stood out the most because it explains how the police are not going to be very demanding about this law. However, if there is an object hanging from a driver's mirror that could possibly be a threat to the safety of other drivers, they will be pulled over.

I agree with this ban. I believe that when somebody is driving every precaution needs to be taken to promote safety. If the object is not a threat to safety, then there is no issue with it.  However, if it is a threat, the person needs to be pulled over and required to take it down.
