Do you legally need front washer jets?
When removing the rear wiper do you still legally need the rear washer jet?
Apart from behind the front wheels and on mirrors where else can you put side repeaters and STILL have them legal?
Cheers in advance guys....

Apart from the legalities, what happens when you're driving along in this weather and your windscreen covers up in salt? Do you get out every 5 mins and clean it off by hand?

mine failed for not having them on the front, had 2 drill through the bonnet and re fit them for it to pass.

I'd live if I bought a car without them, but I wouldn't remove them from the car. My rear window gets in some proper states while driving round back home.
