An Entity of Type: Vehicle104524313, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The major effects of the automobile on societies include the development of diverse customs and traditions. Some drivers believe that a new car is in greater danger than a used car of getting into an accident or having a collision. They believe the new, undamaged condition of the car is "tempting fate". Some drivers will use a coin to scratch the car, based on the (false) belief that since the car is new and nothing has happened to it yet, the chances of something bad happening to the car are greater when compared to a used car with its fair share of dents and scratches. In the hopes of preventing a high-damaging accident, they will place a small nick or scratch on the car in an area where it will not be seen. The inside of the wheel well is one commonly scratched area.

The inside of the wheel well is one commonly scratched area. There are also a few practices associated with graduations. In the days leading up to a graduation, some drivers (and in some cases friends of the driver) will write on the car windows with washable paint. The messages usually congratulate the driver of the car and list the driver's school and year of graduation. After graduating from high school or college, some drivers choose to hang their tassel from the rearview mirror. (en)
