Temporary outside mirrors and attachments used when towing a cabin trailer shall be removed from the motor vehicle or retracted within the outside dimensions thereof when it is operated upon the public way without the trailer. Each truck shall be equipped with a rearview mirror which shall be kept clean, repaired and installed according to the official highway rules. It shall be unlawful for any person to drive any vehicle upon a highway with any sign, poster or other nontransparent material upon the front windshield, side wings, side or rear windows of the motor vehicle other than a certificate or other paper required to be so displayed by law. Every windshield on a motor vehicle shall be equipped with a device for cleaning rain, snow or other moisture from the windshield, which device shall be so constructed as to be controlled or operated by the driver of the vehicle.
