The Mezuzah is a symbol that can be seen on the right-hand doorpost in every Jewish household or car. It acknowledges God's sovereignty over the home. Within is a hand-inscribed parchment bearing the "Shema" prayer - Deuteronomy 6: "Hear O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord...And thou shalt write them (the words of God) upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates."
Having a mezuzah on the car door, touching it and then touching the lips, reminds us to keep the word of God on our lips as we enter and leave the car.
