Are fuck-you-car-stickers legal?
Whereas the middle-finger-car-sticker is of a rather rebellious design compared to other car stickers, as its motif of the hand with the erect middle finger is actually an insult. While the hand gesture of flipping someone off loses its characteristic feature of being an insult as soon as it is not directed at anybody specifically. Therefore, typically a fuck-you-car-sticker is not thought of as being insulting. While this feature of the missing insultiveness is important for the middle-finger-car-sticker because the use of insulting stickers is not allowed on cars. Therefore, specifically because the fuck-you-motif of the car sticker is not directed at a specific person or group, attaching the sticker to a vehicle is legal. We specifically asked a legal expert to confirm this information. Still, the attachment of middle-finger-car-stickers is bound by laws that deal with security while driving. And therefore middle-finger-car-stickers may not be attached to windows if they block more than one quarter of the rear windshield or more than 0.1 sqm. Our fuck-you-car-sticker does not block this amount of the rear windshield and can therefore be legally attached to your vehicle. Middle-finger-car-stickers may also not be attached in a way that they cover lights or license plates of the car. Because with this, the fuck you sticker would hinder the discernibility of the vehicle to the authorities or dim the lights, which are an important safety factor. While a large vinyl fuck-you-car-sticker would pose another legal problem if it were attached to the front windshield because it is made of safety glass. Therefore, the ruling is that a vinyl decal must not hinder the security glass from working as it is intended. While failure to comply with this law can lead to a confiscation of the car’s operation permit. And another non-legal issue that can occur in connection to fuck-you-stickers which are attached to the rear windshield wiper, is the destruction of the heating wires when the sticker is removed. But our middle-finger-car-sticker is neither big enough to fall into the category of interfering with the security glass nor is it attached to the windshield itself. Which is an advantage already because covering the rear windshield more than what is allowed would need a special permit as described in StVZO § 22a Abs. 1. Nr. 3 which would have to be carried along in the vehicle or entered into the vehicle registration document.
Fuck-you-car stickers or decals come in different sizes. But whereas car decals can reach sizes of several car doors adorning a complete side of the car, fuck-you-car-stickers usually never reach such sizes. Instead, fuck-you-car-stickers are usually not bigger than the size of an actual hand. Therefore, also our middle-finger-car-sticker is of that typical size. While decals that might cover a whole side of a car usually employ tribals, flames, or lines in their designs. And realistic depictions of objects are rather rare with bigger car decals. Therefore a big middle-finger-car-sticker would be unusual.
Fuck-you-car-sticker application
While fuck-you-car-stickers usually are all applied in the same way, ours has a different type of application. Because our fuck-you-car-sticker is the evolution of fuck-you-car-stickers. Because our middle-finger-car-stickers are better than classic middle-finger-car-stickers because they are attached to the windshield wiper. Therefore, our fuck-you-car-sticker moves with the windshield wiper. And so, different from all others, our stickers are able to send a communication. They really give a sign due to their ability to move. Therefore, we offer the only movable car stickers. And here we present the movable fuck-you-car-sticker. And while typically fuck-you-car-stickers are applied by sticking the vinyl of the sticker to the rear of the car, our sticker is applied in a completely different way. Because the CARFINGER is an advanced car sticker, our fuck-you-car-sticker, different from all others, does not even have an adhesive side. Instead, our CARFINGER middle-finger-car-sticker is applied with hook and loop tape. Therefore, other than all others, our fuck-you-car-sticker does not only move, but it is also interchangeable. That makes our fuck you sticker completely the better version of all of those. While the hook and loop tape has an adhesive side that is stuck to the windshield wiper, the middle-finger-sticker itself is applied with the other side of the tape and therefore can be taken off at any time. And not only can our better fuck-you-car-sticker be taken off without any glue residue, but also the windshield wiper itself is an interchangeable car part. Therefore, there is no danger to the car whatsoever. While the fuck-you-sticker can be taken off easily, it is attached so well to the car that even strong wind drag from driving does not make it come off. And the sticker can easily be taken off when you want to go to a car wash. When any fuck-you-car-sticker is applied to a vehicle, it is advisable to clean the spot with isopropyl alcohol. And even though our better middle-finger-car-sticker does not have an adhesive side yet, it works with a system of glue, and therefore it can be useful to prepare the spot of application in the same way. Since our fuck-you-car-sticker is not actually applied to the car like a usual fuck-you-car-sticker, it cannot have air bubbles at all. Other fuck-you-car-decals are sometimes detached from the vehicle using a hairdryer, which helps prevent the glue residue from sticking to the car. While it is important to use a hairdryer for this procedure and not a hot air dryer, which could damage the car paint. If a fuck-you-car-decal other than ours leaves a glue residue, often methylated spirits are used to clean the vehicle. With the montage instructions, everybody can easily apply our fuck-you-car-sticker. And because of the attachment system, our middle-finger-car-decal can be attached without the use of a squeegee. Also, due to its function, this is the only fuck-you-car-sticker that works completely without transfer film.
Fuck-you-car-stickers material compared to ours
Fuck-you-car-stickers are usually made from vinyl. And this material makes the middle-finger-car-stickers usually shrink-resistant. Also, fuck-you-car-stickers are usually colorfast. Therefore, all fuck-you-car-stickers can be put through a car wash without being damaged. But other car stickers have an adhesive vinyl film, which is used to mount the sticker to the car, which can be problematic. Even though usually middle-finger-car-stickers come off the place where they were fixed without any residue, there still could be some. While our advanced version of the fuck-you-car-sticker is not made of vinyl. But instead, the CARFINGER-fuck-you-car-sticker is made of durable acrylic glass. And different to all other middle-finger-car-stickers it does not have any adhesive side whatsoever. And therefore our fuck-you-car-sticker stays unfolded in its supposed position because of its material. And while other middle-finger-car-stickers need a special topping that makes the motif UV-resistant, our model is printed in a way that it can go into the sunlight without the need for any special topping or clear-coat. So just like other fuck-you-car-stickers, our enhanced version is also UV-resistant, scratch-resistant, and weatherproof, and that’s without being laminated. Like all other middle-finger-stickers ours is also die-cut. Therefore, the motif of the hand with the erect middle finger is free standing. But different from all other fuck-you-car-stickers, our middle finger really stands up in the air, and on top of that, it actually waves. Opposite to others, these fuck-you-car-decals are produced completely in Germany.

The origins of the middle finger gesture we used for the sticker
already in ancient times, citizens of Greece and Rome used the fuck off finger. While in Ancient Greece, the middle finger hand gesture was called katapygon. While, this term is put together from the word “kata” for downwards and “pygon” for “butt”. Therefor, the term katapugon also referred to somebody who takes it up the butt. While from an ancient Greek play by playwright Aristophanes we know that the hand gesture of our sticker was also called the “finger”, the “dactyl”. But did the gesture more than 2000 years ago already mean something similar to “fuck you” as the sticker does. And in answering that question, we find an interesting story about Diogenes. While we all know the philosopher Diogenes as being of the philosophical school of cynics. And of him is said, that when he saw Demosthenes talk in the marketplace, whom he regarded as a demagogue, he flipped the finger at him. While in the discourses of Epictetus, it is said that Diogenes flipped his middle finger at one of the sophists. So maybe the philosopher flipped off several people. But would Diogenes have mounted our fuck off sticker to the large jar he was sleeping in? Probably not, as he was trying to free himself from all things that are unnecessary luxury. And even though history does not tell us too much that Demosthenes was actually stirring up the people to hate, we do share the wish that demagogues fuck off. While you will not be able to signal that with the middle finger sticker unless one happens to drive behind you.
Fuck you evil spirits, fuck off
In the first century, the finger was used at some places as a magical symbol. So it is believed that the middle finger was actually used to avert magical curses like the evil eye. In this regard, the gesture would actually tell the evil spirits to fuck off. So there is a stone bust from Scotland showing Dionysus’ companion Silenus showing the middle finger. While it is believed, that with the resemblance of the gesture with a dick it might have been ascribed strong power of natural magic. The Romans called the gesture digitus impudicus which means “shameless finger”. And even though it is reported as being a magic gesture, yet seemingly more prominent in ancient books is the use of the finger with the same meaning we know it today, which is exactly the meaning the car sticker has. And so the sticker carries the same meaning the finger already had in the 4th century BC, which was basically “fuck off”.
The fuck off middle finger gesture of our sticker in modern times
The fuck of gesture of our sticker is still used in modern times. In modern times, photography was invented, giving us the possibility to get the middle finger on camera. And so photographic depictions could be made of the gesture. And this brings us into modern days where we see the first photographic image of the fuck you finger. Which is a photography of 1886 where a baseball player of the new Boston Braves shows the fuck you gesture to the camera. While his intention is to show it to his opponents, the New York Giants. And because this was photographed, it became the first known photographic image of the fuck off gesture. And the player who told the rival team to fuck off was Charles Radbourne, who was called Old Hoss.
While the photographic technique in general made it first possible to capture the image of the fuck off finger so that it could be printed on our sticker.
Famous people saying fuck you with the middle finger
Who would guess that saying fuck you with a middle finger is just a habit of lower classes, would be wrong. Instead, many politicians used the finger as a sign of dislike to people. Ronald Reagan, for example, in his job of being the Governor of California, used it to tell protesters to fuck off. While also in 1976 a vice president of the USA used the middle finger. But not only vice presidents use the ancient salute. Because even a Canadian prime Minister used it in 1982 in the City Salmon Arm, which made people call the middle finger the “Salmon Arm Salute”. And with George W. Bush also a former President of the United States showed the fuck off sign to a camera. And not only politicians use it, but also artists. So when Ricky Martin saw a picture of George W. Bush, who ordered the war in Iraq, he gave the finger right back at him.
In Canada, the middle finger used in our sticker is not a crime
A man in Canada was put in court for using the middle finger to tell another person to fuck off. And the judge wrote a remarking passage about the use of the middle finger to say fuck you:
“To be abundantly clear, it is not a crime to give someone the finger,” and, “Flipping the proverbial bird is a God-given, Charter-enshrined right that belongs to every red-blooded Canadian. It may not be civil, it may not be polite, it may not be gentlemanly. Nevertheless, it does not trigger criminal liability.”
As the sticker shows, the middle finger has reached popular culture
Our sticker is not the only use of the middle finger in popular culture. And so here is a song called Middle Finger by the band Cobra Starship. And we see here, that not only the song sings about giving the middle finger, but also the music video features several people showing the fuck you gesture which you also see on our sticker.
