Slush Busters have been mentioned many times in the Open Forum but now that CSA 2010 has made nit picking today's fashion talk of the industry, I must ask, might a nit picker scale cop consider Slush Busters to be an obstruction to the driver's field of view?
If installed according to the manufacturer's instructions, they lie within the area swept by the windshield wipers (since that's where they need to be to work).
What say you, folks? Slush Busters: Legal or not legal?
"(e) Prohibition on obstructions to the driver’s field of view
—(1) Devices mounted at the top of the windshield. Antennas, transponders, and similar devices must not be mounted more than 152 mm (6 inches) below the upper edge of the windshield. These devices must be located outside the area swept by the windshield wipers, and outside the driver’s sight lines to the road and highway signs and signals.
"(e)(2) Decals and stickers mounted on the windshield. Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) inspection decals, and stickers and/or decals required under Federal or State laws may be placed at the bottom or sides of the windshield provided such decals or stickers do not extend more than 115 mm (41/2 inches) from the bottom of the windshield and are located outside the area swept by the windshield wipers, and outside the driver’s sight lines to the road and highway signs or signals."
