Christmas car decorations: What you need to know to be stylish and safe
Fox News
With the holiday season in full swing, car owners might feel tempted to decorate their vehicles as a form of festive cheer. But, before you dig into your holiday box or stop by your favorite craft store, you’ll want to make sure your decoration plans are safe.
"We do not recommend any lights. At a minimum they are a distraction to you and other drivers," said Richard Reina, a product training director at CARiD.com. "In many locales across the country, they are illegal and could result in a summons."
Reina continued, "Static, unlit decorations are fine and allow you to show your holiday spirit. Anything you put on your car cannot in any way interfere with the driver’s vision or access to controls. Likewise, items on the exterior cannot interfere with steering or braking."
