If you mean MAN utd I would feel more comfortable with a Gary Glitter scarf, at least it wouldn’t be as embarrassing as people thinking I supported THEM.But as you know Man United are “The Red Devils” simple
Err,call me thick mate
Maybe read through
But the OP stated it was a United scarf which is actually Leeds simple as that which most people fail to realise

Right then Leeds,… ok I’ll keep it local a Jimmy Saville scarf 
… but anything except Man Utd.
I’ll be honest with you see if my night driver put any celtic crap in the lorry id sling it out the windae never mind folding it and placing it in the passenger footwell.
If the scarf in question is blue white and yellow,then it is a propper United scarf and you should not touch it,infact you should add to the Leeds United theme that is going on in your cab and stop moaning. On the other hand if it is red white and black…wipe your backside with it before you fold it up and put it in a locker.

If any of my personal kit was thrown out of the window.The thrower would get a hefty bill plus a good chance of a severe smack in the chops. Possibly with a baseball bat if I felt it was warranted.
Removing it from sight isn’t a problem, as long as it isn’t damaged so I can reposition it where I want it. Removing kit from sight by disposing of isn’t on, whatever you personally feel about the kit in question.

It could be worse, when I took my truck over from its previous steerer, he left a bloody St. Georges Cross hanging over the back, that went straight out the window into the nearest spud bin, as did all the other crap he left in there, newspapers, food!! gas cylinder, amongst a hell of a lot of other crap. Then I had to clean EVERYTHING. Could hardly see the switches they were covered in that much dirt.
The only things that go near my windscreen, are the no smoking sticker and tinsel on the Christmas Eve run.

More than mine as dont do christmas so defo no tinsel
I do have a tax disc in my windscreen
On my car have a poppy in the windscreen & the car sticker
Windscreens are for looking out of and should not be obstructed ------united there is only one!
There is that interesting thing, that people react very easily to flags and stuff, but they are not so brave (or not so stupid) to do it face to face…
I had an agency job once and I’ve been driving a truck that usually had a Polish driver. So there was a PL sticker under the windscreen and Polish flag above the bunk. I saw how people’s attitude towards me changed - the funny thing was that I was even treated differently in a place that I was regular on other job, and where they know that I am Polish.
I asked a forkie I know why he does that, and he said “because I don’t like them Poles, so I keep them waiting”. I told him “But I was here every day last week and you were always fair with me and you know that I am Polish”. He answered “Yeah mate, but you are all right”.
I guess there has to be some logic behind this 
So I voted that you did all right with removing that scarf
Whar about those Spanish bull fighting spears in the windscreen, i have seen those in tippers on local work and even in a cement mixer truck, what message is the driver trying to portray to other road users, that he used to be a bull killer in Marbella?
Or had a holiday in Torremolinos, and his wife told him to put them in the truck for a dare.Or they could be used to protect youself when some yobbo is trying to steal your cement.
Why not put something that you like in there and say the same thing to him when he gets in the truck.
Maybe remove it before you start your shift and then put it back in the windscreen just before you hand the wagon back? 
In one lorry I drove I had a Scottish flag hanging in the back of the cab … somebody else borrowed the lorry one day and I returned to find it screwed up in the passenger footwell. Now that is taking the ■■■■, I nearly had a Braveheart moment.

Honest answer is that I can’t be arsed.
Plus, when I start my shift, I’m clean and my hands are clean etc, but that’s not so by time I finish my shift, so then it would get dirty which isn’t fair.
And when I get out of the truck to wash my hands, I don’t go back to the truck, it’s called home time.
As I’ve said, it was just the attitude I didn’t quite understand, it was like I’d burnt it or screwed it up.
I guess, as I’ve often suspected, there’s a lot of ■■■■■■■■■ behind the wheel - and some of them drive trucks. Just seems this firm has a rather large percentage.
It’s your time in the truck, you can do what you want.

That’s true, but the principal applies to any personal kit left in a truck.

Damned right I’m for real.
I’m a tramper, I live in my truck all week. You will be out in my truck for 1 shift. I have a small stuffed toy that I was given by my daughter many years ago. If you dared to throw it out of the window because it happens to be the ‘wrong teams colours’, I’d do more than give you a smack in the mouth, I’d break your [zb]ing neck.
Does that sound real enough for you?
