RMweb Premium Jol Wilkinson Posted March 2, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 2, 2017 That presumes they know how to operate the rear wiper, Unless on a Peugeot it is automatic? On that vehicle, I'm thinking not. Some Peugeots - those with automatic wipers and going back a few years - have a menu setting for the rear wiper to work if the fronts have been activated by rain and you are reversing. It's probably a feature from one of the OE suppliers for vehicle systems, such as Bosch. Probably developed for people who are holding their phone when driving and can't cope with all the vehicle controls. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 02 plate V70 and SWMBO's 53 plate Corsa both activate the rear wiper if the front is turned on when reversing. Made me jump first time it happened !

Made me jump first time it happened ! You can jump when you're driving? I'd get concussion or a broken neck if I tried it! I don't like driving in the rain, as I have to look under the bit of the windscreen the wipers don't wipe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT3 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) It isn't only cars that have a problem staying upright, just don't jump when you are on the mower Now I am famous not just for having an car accident in my own driveway but also finding the small ditch while mowing...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'm glad that people find my sufferings from being too tall for most vehicles funny .Well I'm 6ft 4in and size 14 feet so I look out the rear window in many cars if I look sideways and a lot of cars I can't press the clutch without hitting the brake due to not enough room between footrest and pedals.
