I think RST owners do this so the horn looks chrome/polished or something.
I've seen it loads on cars, looks tacky in my opinion.

Apparently the asian taxi drivers have a cd with their bible thing on it hanging from the mirror, meant to bring them luck...
Still doesnt explain the need for a decorative tissue box on the parcel shelf tho...

Er... The whole reason the police guns work is because a beam of light is shot at the car and reflected back. The gun works out the speed by doing speed = distance/time and wehey you get caught speeding. So sticking a CD there is gonna actually hepl the police catch you

Actually a police laser gun works by sending a beam towards the car from a distance, and like ED said work its out by doing distance/time for the beam to get back to the car. Also police usually point the gun towards the bumper of the car, so a CD where the horn is will do jack
Only way to overcome a laser gun is to slow down (and do the right speed) or by a jammer, which works by sending a laser beam back to the gun at the same frequency and therefore causing an error to come up
