Anybody going to own up to fitting these contraptions on the wiper arms?
Yep me 
…on my boy racer Mini at 17.
I think they were supposedlly there to keep the wipers down on the screen in a strong wind…it made no difference btw. 
I remember these bug deflectors on car bonnets back in the '60 varied shapes.

Yep, I did,but I also rolled my eyes at those who fitted them upside down.
Many modern cars have aerodynamic aids discretely into the wiper arms.

BMW actually fitted similar aero aids, meant to stop the wiper lifting at high speeds, to at least its drivers side wiper arms, as standard factory fit on its quickest models like 3.0Si and CSi.
Jaguar obviously never saw the need on its quicker XJ12 and V12 Etype.

Confirms my memory when drivers knew the width of their vehicle and how to pass parked vehicles without taking both sides of the road to do it.

So many trucks, cars and advertising no longer seen. Note at 2:15 the steam train crossing the road. That was one of Brisbane’s busiest intersections, Woolongaba Fiveways, colloquially known as The 'Gabba Five. The train line ran diagonally through the convergence of five busy roads. Trains were preceded by a flagman, ringing a bell.
