Why would they need to take a pic of the driver? If you run a red light or get a speeding ticket, they already have your name from the forms you sign when you take the car out!

I guess the dealer were tired of having "strange" stains in the back seat.

It's bad enough when a dealer slaps on "LOANER VEHICLE" stickers on the back window to let the whole world know you don't own the car because your real car is broken and in for repairs. Tacky.

If I were you, I wouldn't let my finger leave my nose while driving. I mean, lets be real with each other, picking noses is a normal activity while driving. But I'd give them a show.

It's advertising haha. They get their name out there while you drive the car around. Same reason why they put license plate frames with the dealer name on it, its free advertising every time you drive your car (minus the cost of the frame). Personally i hate it, but being a business person, i see why they do it.
