Novelties and air fresheners dangling from your rear-view mirror could cause accidents, the AA warned today.

A survey of more than 2,000 vehicles on motorways found that one in 20 had a potential blind spot caused by 'ornamental clutter'.

The worst offenders were odor-eating scent trees, teddy bears, beads and football pennants.

"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 appears to be an urban myth that dangling a CD will somehow avert speed camera detection. It doesn't," the AA noted.

容易出人命的车饰物件

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，英国汽车协会今日发出警告称，挂在汽车后视镜上的新奇玩意儿和空气清新剂可能引发车祸。

       一项针对在高速公路上行驶的2000多辆汽车的调查发现，20辆车中就会有一辆因为这些小饰品产生盲点。

       最容易出问题的是除味香水树、泰迪熊、珠子和足球队旗。

       汽车协会提醒说：“最奇怪也最危险的东西是那种银色的CD。早上的时候阳光很强，CD还会因为反光，影响其他司机的视线。有些人认为挂一个CD在一定程度上可以躲避超速摄像头的探测，但实际上这是一个误区，根本不可能。”
