Tinted Windows
P16LET:
Hmmm...how's this for a theory...you can legally buy window tint by the roll....you can legally buy window tint in pre-cut kits...you can legally take your vehicle to have professionally tinted windows fitted...by this reasoning, surely it then becomes legal to drive around with it on?????
If it wasn't legal, just for arguments sake, how do stretched limos' of any variety get through an MOT?....as assuredly, they aren't all less than 3 years old!...
I have just driven my new toy back from London, with tinted windows on the back and sides...passed a multitude of police cars, marked or otherwise, and no-one batted an eyelid....
...so just to concur the earlier post, a 30% tint on the front and a 70% tint on the back IS perfectly legal to both fit and drive around with....if I get pulled and prosecuted otherwise, I'll let you know :D
P.S....LSP dear boy, could you possibly clarify on the matter :police: :)

Yes you can buy the tint stuff, yes there are some tinters that will do it for you, but i bet you'll never get a bill for having it done, the fines they would incur are huge...... it's illegal, simple, doesn;t mean people don;t do it though.....
P16LET:
Me thinks you are having a giraffe.....
The important words are "window" and "tint"....read carefully as Janet and John are not there to guide you....

Don't forget, your windows already have a degree of tint anyway, so to you can't put a 25% tint on it and except 75% to get through.

When it's sunny I wear sunglasses. When it goes dark, I take the sunglasses off so I don't crash into things!
Do drivers with tinted front/side windows wind the windows down at night?
