Rear window = obstructed view?

You may have seen this story from a few days ago, in which a driver was cited four times for having a giant decal in the rear window of his car. Roadguy is generally opposed to anything that makes driving more complicated than necessary, and being able to see out one’s rear window can be pretty darn helpful.
The article reminded me that, a few weeks ago, I encountered one of those drivers who think it’s a great idea to turn the back of one’s car into a toy store:
(A little hard to tell with the solar glare, but you can probably make out the doll heads and get the idea.)
Roadguy is not opposed to vehicular self-expression, but this car had self-expression covered elsewhere — it had both a “Jesus” fish and a “Satan” sticker. Decals on the trunk seem much wiser than blocking one’s sightlines. If you agree, or if you are quite proud of the Beanie Babies that peek out the back of your Saturn, share a thought or two in the comments below.
