Is a way to distinguish to other drivers the owner is a member of a certain gang. One article was written a while back about a murder taking place when someone confronted a driver that had the mask hanging from his rearview mirror.



just don't dare flash your brights at them

The origin of it is Japan, where drivers in car clubs that race on the highways (called kanjo) in Osaka would wear masks to maintain anonymity from police/street cameras.


Truth. It's big back in Korea too. It's to defeat the traffic cameras. I went there last xmas and noticed it.

They also use Vendetta and Jigsaw masks over there too.

I haven't seen any masks in CenFla. Must be happening in norcal and seattle with the huge asian communities.

Probably the same type of people who would hang a CD from their review mirror in the 90s.

On 60 days in this past season, they addressed this as sometimes meth or heroin users wear these masks to cover their faces because of the sores all over their faces

Search for: What should I hang from my rearview mirror?

8 Classic Things to Hang from Your Rearview Mirror

In high school, the coolest thing to do was to have something hanging from the rearview mirror of your car… at least until your parents told you to take it down.
Fuzzy dice are traced back to World War II and were used as a sign of good luck.

Here are a few things that we found people hang from their rearview mirror:

Graduation tassel
Necklaces
Air fresheners
Rear view mirror charms
Religious pictures
Dream catchers
Headphones/cords
Lanyard with keys

People hang those hockey masks because they don’t make Insane Clown Possee masks. Yet.

Yes. My brain was too stupid to come up with the term traffic cameras earlier

Since people in here insist on floating their 60-minutes Satanic Panic level theories, here's a video y'all can watch and stop passing out misinformation about Halloween, heroin, and brothas. Like a lot of other stuff, someone saw it in Japan (or more likely a magazine) and thought, "that would be a cool/unique thing to do to be really JDM" then the next guy copied it, then the next, and the next.

Just like Euro license plates on BMWs and the little green/yellow arrow on Japanese imports (that sticker is used to indicate a new licensed driver in Japan).
