Answer: According to AAA, the short answer is no. Here’s what they suggest:

Avoid hanging masks on mirror

  • Mask, or other objects, hanging from mirror can partially block field of vision
  • Eyes provide nearly 90% of info needed to respond to road conditions
  • Sign spotting is largely function of side vision
  • Obstruction can increase risk of crash

Where to put mask in car

  • Glove box
  • Center console
  • Pants pocket
  • Anywhere safe that doesn’t obstruct vision
