Abstract: This invention relates to spray-inhibiting means for a road vehicle, said means comprising a screen which in use is adapted to intercept water thrown rearwardly from a vehicle tire. The screen is mounted on the vehicle in use in an operative position in which its lower edge lies closely adjacent to the road surface behind the associated vehicle tire and the means for mounting the screen are arranged to maintain it in its operative position irrespective of the vertical position of the load carrying part of the vehicle (e.g. load supporting platform or body) relative to the road surface.
