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
