There are two ways you could look at the wiper question:-

1 - There is no wiper blade fitted so it's an easy fail RfR 3.4.b.2 Wiper blade missing or obviously not clearing the windscreen

or

2 -

You do not need to inspect windscreen wipers on vehicles with:

an opening windscreen
some other means of giving the driver an adequate view through the windscreen to the front, left and right

... and if the sponge adequately clears the screen it could be seen as a pass (& probably advise).

There again, that lump of sponge in zone A could come under 3.1.a.1 & 2

(a) An obstruction:

(i) within the driver’s field of view that significantly affects his view in front or to the sides outside the swept area of windscreen

(ii) significantly affecting the driver’s view of the road through the swept area of the windscreen

Just simplier to fit a wiper blade.

Doesn't obstruction by a wiper blade refer to a wiper stopped in zone A or the remaining swept area?

If the blade are is in dynamic operation at the time of inspection and parks outside zone A, then would it be classed as a obstruction?

You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

I've not seen any sponges that good on the sea bed! I suppose when in operation, it will obscure more than 10 or 40 mm! (A moving obstruction?) Which I suppose would then be a fail.
