de ruitenwisser

Translation

windscreen wiper

The blade that sweeps the windscreen clean. Cars with a windscreen must have a properly working wiper installation that gives the driver sufficient view, and a properly working washer installation (Regeling voertuigen, art. 5.2.43). That matches the duty to have sufficient view forward and sideways through the windscreen and the front side windows (art. 5.18.4). Worn rubbers leave streaks that dazzle precisely against oncoming light.
