Fuzzy dice

Fuzzy dice, known in the British Isles as furry dice or fluffy dice, are an automotive decoration consisting of two over-sized, six-sided plush dice which hang from the rear-view mirror.

While fuzzy dice were at the height of their popularity in the 1970s and the 1980s, they have since become increasingly rare as the practice of hanging any object from the rear-view mirror became illegal in many states.

A 1993 study showed there to be no correlation between the use of fuzzy dice and the degree of a driver's reckless driving behavior. [ [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8166776 Fuzzy dice, dream cars, and indecent gestures: cor... [Accid Anal Prev. 1993 - PubMed Result ] ]
