You still have cars on the road that don't have rear windscreen wipers at all so I would say it was perfectly legal.1st Aim = Pay off Virgin CC - £3929.110

I think you will find that if they are fitted they have to be working, same goes for indicators as they are both included in an MOT test
as i said.....see here

If you have an MOT test guy that says he will pass it then make sure you use him because others certainly wont if they are following the rules. Hope it goes ok for you.0 -
I've moved this thread to the Motoring Board

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].0 -

another question is... What the hell is wrong with teenagers these days, there just seems to be no deterrent and they just go around doing things like this with only a slight telling off to fear.0

You forgot to add how hopeless the so called Police are! This is the source of courage and audacity for these youths. I cannot heap all the blame on their parents as the law seems to protect these vandals on most occasion.
I actually gripped a vandal and started shaking him, no punch, no hitting, just pure powerful shaking so he can come back to his senses.
My action was instinctive as i had suffered vandalism twice and the Police couldnt help. The 3rd time, i set a bobby trap and caught him red handed.
Guess what, when the old bill arrived, they attempted to arrest me as they claimed my grip and shaking can be classed as some kind of assault.
By the time i finished firing verbal bullets at the officers, they changed their mind instantly..
The good news is that the vandalism never re-occured. But pls dont copy my style for 2 reasons, the vandal may ve a knife which seems to be the trend this days and the Police might indeed nick u cos they re bored and luv nicking victims!!0 -
all i can say is, its time to find out where these people live and give them a taste of their own medicine.... its the only way they will learn.0

The police are trapped in a system of target meeting. It's so that local newspaper headlines cans be "crime detection has improved by 23.34% this year" or whatever, regardless of whether it provides a good service to the public.Happy chappy0
