Would you really expect to hear anyone say otherwise? Fact is, because people will never admit otherwise, there are laws that govern what is allowed to be mounted on windshields, and where they may be mounted. The intent of these laws is to hopefully prevent individuals from making their own stupid decisions about such things and to prevent a plethora of items from being affixed to windshields. We must remember that when it comes to the operation of vehicles, there certainly seems to be more stupid people out there than smart ones. For instance, in Virginia, nothing whatsoever may intrude more than four inches above where the bottom of the windshield meets the dashboard. That is why all inspection stickers are located in that allowable zone, and why any other sticker must fit within that area. Transponders for toll roads must also be within that area or directly behind a rearview mirror that is attached to the windshield. Nothing else may be attached, hung or intrude upon any other portion of the windshield. If there weren't laws or rules about such, one can just imagine the nearly infinite possibilities.
