My new van has the left hand wing mirror on an arm attached to the body, rather than attached to the door like most vehicles. This means you look through the windscreen at it, rather than the side window.

Whoever put the registration and RUC labels up put them right in the line of sight of the mirror.

That would wind me up too!

As some who likes to try to get my windscreen as clean as possible, I absolutely hate the wof, rego & RUC labels. Why can’t they just be digital already!

Also hate when workshops put their huge stupid labels when you get work done on your car

I particularly love when they put stickers on your back windscreen over the demister line things, so when you pull the sticker off it rips off the demister lines.

Oh yeah that irks me too. The AA I took one of our cars to last time used some new clear sticker under the WOF sticker with they’re AA advertising attached to the bottom of it, so you can’t remove it without the WOF sticker coming off. Infuriating. I really don’t like any kind of advertising on our cars - I always take off the license plate surrounds that dealers put on too.

Oh man, sneaky!

I also dislike being a driving advertisement, but I don't think I have thought about it enough to take the dealer license plate thing off.

I already bought a car from them, I'm not going to advertise for them too! 😆

Fair enough!
