A Question For All Drivers(have You Noticed)??
Have you ever noticed other drivers,mostly asians have a piece of rag tied to their rear toe eye.
Does anyone have a clue why they have it.I know a lot of people who have noticed this but don,t have a clue as to why.

According to my sister who works in insurance she said that they tie them around the toe eye for fraudulent (sp) claims.
Ie driver 1 in front gets rear ended by driver 2 on purpose, driver 1 was on his own but says a few more people were in the car, they then split the claim between them.

I would have said , Pure Speculation, but then again insurance companies know different!

It's a really old susperstitious myth & the reason some of them do it is because they believe it keeps bad luck away from the car

i got this tied to my towing eye.
it gives me more traction, 20% more power across the rev range, and its also for hardcore terrorist and religious reasons.
its a special symbol that you get once you have killed at least 25 white people for no reason, and taken their jobs
hope this helps

When I was on the taxi's i asked 1 of the guys why he had a black ribbon on his, he said it was to recognise him as a 'She-Ite' Muslim (Is that how its spelt) .

it's a spuertition
to ward off evil spirits and stop them looking at your motor
sort of like a klingon bird of prey being cloaked and being invisable to everyone else
it's an indian thing rather than a sikh thing or a muslim thing or a hindu thing and lorry drivers do it more, but nearly everyone on the indian subcontinent puts them on their cars

Well, personally i'd be a little disappointed if i'd tied a bit of cloth on to bring me luck and the guy behind me thought it meant i wanted to be driven into for a fraudulent insurance claim...

and would you trust a complete stranger to deliberately crash into him after seeing this and then expect him not to have stitched you up ? you lose and he's laughing all the way to the small claims court.
