Window Tint?

[Tullyvernon]

My m8 got stoped 2day by the police n they gave him 3 points and a £60 fine for having window tint on his front side windows!!! is this right? i always thought it was only a fine n made you take it off? doesnt seem very fair

[AndyFielder]

yes its right.. your not aloud them end of

[schakal]

yes its right.. your not aloud them end of

you are allowed them anywhere you like
the thing you got to bare in mind is the ones fitted to
front windows or the windscreen shall let 70% of light through


i hope this clears it up for you :D :P

ya id herd of lads getn £30 fines and being made take the tint off, but 3 points is a bit harsh is it not?? like i got that 4 runing a red light n thats alot more dangerious than having window tint on!

at the end of the day... the law is the law... they may have been doing a crack down in the area... normally if your alright, ie not doing anything else wrong i would let you go with a warning, you need to pass the "attitude test" first. But if it was traffic, they are less tolerant or they may have been doing a crack down in your area.

u r aloud them as long as they let 70% n they cant do fu*k all un less they can test they if they have the fingy witch they never do so if they cant prov it nought they can do like most things u need proff

Don't tint your front windows never wise...

The Old Bill, will always stop u and check other things as well, not really worth IMO.

3points thats bang out of order, i used to get done for tints all the time, and everytime i only got £30 fine and had a producer, which means i had a week to take them off and had to prove i taken them of to an mot'er or a police officer, but wot i did was take them off then the next day put them back on again once i got it all cleared with the cops, i actully got done again that same week lol £30 fine but never 3points, and i put them back on again, hope this helps, ur friend can appeal btw!
