Originally it was thought to reflect or diffuse hand held radar devices for measuring speed although I would doubt its effectiveness, and bear in mind that it is illegal to hang anything from your rear view mirror,

yep, its a asian thing!
it is an Asian thing, most popular with Muslims with the prayers inscribed on it for safe journeys and that.
Even though u can get versions for Hindus and Sikhs the majority u will come across are Muslims (99.9%)

I have noticed that but darent say anything lest it be considered racist pointing out that a particular group in society has any discernable traits.
Anyway, what stupid and distracting thing to have on your mirror, it would p1ss me off no end !
Also fond of foglights in conjunction with the cd I have noticed.

Diffficult to say exactly what it is, but for example:
An Asian guy buys a car that some people could be jelous of, so he puts the hair extension on the towing eye, to stop the jelousy.

LOL, "illegal" accessories!!
Where does it say in the instructions that you *must* hang one of those air-freshener things from the rear-view mirror??!!!
The American compensation culture was built on misinformation like that!!!
