Peacock feathers

[myfs_94479]

hi Master Cecil Lee,
I have just heard of using peacock feathers in the car as a "protective" symbol just like we would hung crystals.
I have no heard of such a thing before about the protective powers of peacock feathers but i think this is a very important item used by the indians. can you advice its effectiveness?

Dear Spencer,
1. If one is in Singapore, the government has already provided each vehicle with a Ba Gua symbol.
2. So no need for an extra `protective' symbol:)
3. Just look carefully at the Road Tax disc and it is in a protective "Ba Gua" shape.
4. However, it does not seem to help with all the `crazy' irresponsible drivers around (negligent) drivers.
5. For the Chinese, the peacock feature is also a symbol of "driving evil away". But, here, the `devil' lay with us, the bad driver than any other protection.
6. If we stare carefully at a peacock feather, it looks like a large eye staring back at us. Maybe this is one reason why it is used.
7. In Singapore, some Chinese hang a `charm' or scroll below the rear view mirror etc..
8. Yes, people do hang crystals.
9. We should take these as decorative items. And most of all, we should classify these as under "Human or man" luck i.e. make some people feel good.
10. For most of us, the preferred choice is to rely on being a defensive driver and PRAY hard that our cars have front, side air bags etc... And even if we pray hard, we should pray doubly hard that they MUST work - as a last resort.
11. This will be of interest to car drivers in `hot' countries: "Do you know that it is better to pump patrol in the early morning as the petrol in the storage tanks of petrol stations are colder. If one pumps petrol later, the volume will increase 5 or more percentage points and less petrol will get into our cars." - This is true!
12. The morale of the story: " Check the NSCAP crash value of the car before making a purchase. Good cars have 4 to 5 star ratings." But even with these ratings, please don't test out the car with a lamp post or a tree. It may just split the car! Even if one does so, try not do so with a full petrol tank! The car may catch fire! Drive safely!
(Drive safely, especially if you own a home with a huge missing corner at the "North" sector (missing corner at the North of the home.)

Note: I strongly suggest you chrome plate your peacock feathers. If you are at IMM, I think it is at third storey, (just after the car park entrance, to the right, there is a sticker shop; do see if you can purchase a circular `police' badge - to stick to the back of the car. (Apologies, this scanned image is not clear.. but I hope u get the idea:)
In Singapore, the morale of the story is "YOU KISS, YOU AND I PAY:( " (Lose No claim bonus NCB etc...)

Thanks again for your humorous reply.
Perhaps the road tax disc is still not enough looking at the accident rates.
so, i put peacock feathers at the back of my car, staring at the driver behind me and making sure that he/she don't kiss my back. :O
You are still right, we must always be on the alert and drive defensively. I often told myself that many of these drivers or motorists have been very lucky to have met me otherwise....
yes, you can fill up more petrol in the mornings then later in the day. better not say too much on this, otherwise you won't find petrol kioks open in the morning and we will be in trouble. :o
