There's also "driver's" windscreen in some of the text. Having a split screen makes things a little more/less complicated.

That's it right there, and the point I was making. I belong to a local classic-car club, and there's always an MG owner with driving-gloves and leather elbow patches. If you spend any time on other forums and car-clubs you're soon aware how Mini, Beetle and LR owners are mocked. We get roasted something rotten. I have to smile, I'm left to wonder if I've become my own stereotype. Seems LR owners with umpteen jerry-cans, are all called Nigel, have facial-hair, and can recite the advantages of four different routes to Cleethorpes.

If you can't beat 'em... I think the stereotype is me.


 
do eyebrows count as facial hair?

I've been caught out, convinced the engine has stopped, but it's so quiet I can't hear it ticking over.

Quote from: Dopey on May 16, 2024, 04:46 PMI didn't think you could stick anything to the screen anymore anyway, 3 points, isn't it?

Never heard of that - having just googled it:-


https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/stickers-or-other-items-in-front-and-rear-windscreens/view-to-the-front-and-windscreen-obscuration



"In practice, the annual test will check that items placed in or stuck to the windscreen or surface damage, cracks or discolouration in the windscreen do not seriously obscure the vision of the driver. In order to better define what maybe permissible the windscreen is divided into zones:

Zone A is a vertical area 290mm wide, centred on the steering wheel and contained within the swept area of the windscreen (this area is 350mm wide on vehicles over 3.5 tonnes);
Zone B is the remainder of the swept area of the windscreen
For simplicity, surface damage, cracks or discolouration, are simply referred to as damage.

In Zone A, a single damaged area shall be contained within a 10mm diameter circle. A combination of minor damage areas shall not seriously restrict the drivers view. Windscreen stickers, or other obstructions, shall not encroach more than 10mm.

In Zone B, a single damaged area shall be contained within a 40mm diameter circle. Windscreen stickers, or other obstructions, shall not encroach more than 40mm.

Windscreen repairs shall be assessed the same as unrepaired damage and shall not restrict the driver's vision.

Cracks passing through the swept area of the windscreen and reaching two points at the edge shall be deemed to render the windscreen insecure.

Items placed in, or stuck to, the windscreen could be stickers, pennants, satellite navigation monitors or decorations.

Original vehicle design features and drivers aids, such as sun visors, are allowed.

Vehicles that do not comply with the above could be construed to be in contravention of the legislation."



Will check the placement of mine to see if it's legal

As a matter of interest, does anyone who has ordered online, receive any club discount, regardless of offers they may have on?
