If they are fitted within the stroke of the windscreen wiper this is correct, as technically it blocks your vision...
You will find if they are left on at mot time the tester will remove them or fail your vehicle..
It is exactly the same for dice and ****e hanging from your rear view mirror...
This has been law for a very long time...

As long as it doesn't obscure your line of vision it's fine. It's also technically illegal to take a swig if a drink, take your eyes of the road for a second, remove a hand from the steering wheel not in conjunction with controlling the vehicle and many other things like that...
Not true. If it falls within the "swept area" of the wipers it's a fail. I had that problem with a LZ sticker behind the rear view mirror. Couldn't see it in normal use, but it was in the swept area

Being tall, when I look through the windscreen the lower section of my view through the swept area is oscured by the bonnet - is that an MOT fail?
