The report added: ‘Other odd items included small pots, shamrock, a leprechaun, a camera, Live animals, furry dice, boxing gloves, a Margaret Thatcher doll, a turquoise peace sign charm and a miniature horse.'

WTF!!!  ;D ;D
that list looks like someone going through their toy box, not ornaments in their car??  :D :D :D

‘We urge all drivers to remove any dangerous danglers so that they can concentrate on the road ahead.'

Is it just my depraved mind, or is that statement just wrong in many different ways!  ;D

The AA noted: ‘The most bizarre and dangerous item was a silver CD which in the morning sunlight had the extra danger of dazzling other drivers with the reflection.

There'll not be many with enough b4lls to remove these considering that most dangle from the mirror of taxi drivers & contain the Qur'an  :-X :-X

the last car I drove with an air freshener was a vectra c  from the job which belongs to a friend (woman) .. as I had to drive it for a repair/repaint job within a 200 m distance the freshener finds its last destination.. directly to the bin ;D 

I dont know how they drive with it .. it was hanging from the mirror with a long rope and hitting my glasses in every brake >:( >:( >:(

Apparently the CD is because some believe the urban myth that it deflects speed cameras. ;D
Today on Radio 4 covered the story this morning, and the funniest item was a pair of knickers,  would obscure the windscreen if they were swmbo's Bridget Jones' ;D ;D
