de opspatafscherming
OP-spat-af-skher-mingIPA [ˈɔpspɑtɑfsxɛrmɪŋ]
Translation
spray suppression device
A device intended to limit the spray of water thrown up by the tyres of a moving vehicle (art. 1.1 Regeling voertuigen). It therefore serves other people’s visibility, not yours. If it is missing on a lorry, in rain a cloud of water follows that vehicle which no one can see through: keep more distance rather than closing up.
