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
