I already don't hang anything from my mirror, because there are other states who ban that... And I'm not sure which ones (other than RI), or when I'll be driving through them.

Driving on bald tires: $900
I got a warning for that several years ago. No $900 ticket; but getting two flat tires, in West Virginia, without even a single spare, was more than enough punishment.
Not coming to a full stop for a pedestrian with a cane and/or eyeseeing dog: $900
What about someone in a crosswalk in an electric wheelchair? I got rear-ended once (when my car was still new) because I didn't want to hit the gimp but the chick behind me obviously did. (Fortunately, there was precisely zero damage done to my car, since the bumpers also have Saturn's dent-resistent panels and such.)
Displaying anything considered "obscene" to other motorists (eg: car nuts): $900
Does that include my middle finger? Because I don't do car nuts or bumper stickers (anymore), but sometimes a finger is worth a thousand words.
Driving over 80mph ANYWHERE: $900-$3000
*whistles innocently*
Failure to give a proper signal: reckless driving, misdemeanor to felony, fines $1,050 to $3,000
Where I come from, using directional signals is the equivalent of leaking ( ... )

the cane rule actually states that you'll be fined if you don't come to a complete stop for a citizen with a white or metallic cane with or without a red stopper.

Really? Maybe I should walk around in my Bert Shnick costume and watch traffic grind to a halt...
