Is it also supporting the screen guard too? Made me laugh at first when I was there, I was taught when approaching oncoming vehicles to place all 4 fingers and thumb spread out on the screen, the theory being that it is vibration which breaks it and a hand spread stops that.
Do you still do that in Oz, those of you there? And do you think it works, or is it an old truckie’s tale?
No, but I remember the theory/action. There was also a device, resembling a large heavy duty suction cap, with a brass stud projecting from the rear, placed in the centre of the windscreen. A thin, taut wire ran from the stud to the vehicle frame, at each corner of the windscreen. It was equally ineffective at preventing glass breakage.
Never heard of that one, sounds a bit like a spike to put you out of your misery after a head on collision.
