I have seen multiple car crashes on video, news/copsshows and stuff, my observation is this.

After the impact no matter how bad, if the windscreen is intact, the fucking windscreen wipers ALWAYS start to work.

WTF, is this some kind of "How do magnets work?" shit or what?

My guess is the driver bumps the stick with the impact and turns them on. Getting flung forward like a ragdoll, you are bound to hit all kinds of stuff.

Same. Even just the force of the wreck could slap the stick up. Back in the LongLongAgo when it was a switch on the dash that you turned, this didn't happen.

Having been in a spinout collision once, can confirm. It's crazy how your body just gets flung all around the cabin.

It's an involuntary reflex the car exhibits as it deals with the excruciating pain from the injuries it received in the crash.

Why do you faggots call them windscreens ? They are called windshields.

Oh...I thought he was talking about the bums rushing up to "wash" the windshield...I was all confused. Thanks for pointing out OP is a foreign troll. We should make a list.

I have been in three 100mph+ crashes. You are trying to regain control and are moving your hands so fast you can bump the sticks for wipers and lights. When on the track I remove the fuse for the wipers lights on a dual use car. The track car has the stalks removed.

I always thought they were arms, kinda like stalks better. Good say.

A lady tried to make a left on a solid green in front of me when I was doing about 50 a decade or so ago, wipers were engaged after impact.

Can confirm, the two major accidents I was in:

Wipers engaged, throttle stuck wide open for the first one

Wipers engaged, car couldn’t start for the second (it was a rear end, too)
