I was pulled over on Saturday for what seemed like nothing to be told I had to pay a 130euro fine. Apparently unknown to me a new law came in at the start of the year outlawing tinted film on the Driver & Passenger door windows, Windscreen too, but I cant imagine having the stuff on my windscreen.

its not wise having tints on the front windows, it restricts vision at night and the police don't like it cos they can't see the driver and what he is doing i.e. talking on a mobile phone. ... - .- -.

Not that I would have had tinted windows anyway, but another reason to avoid France like the plague! 2005 E60 M5

The law in the U.K. is 75% for the windscreen and 70% for front passenger & drivers window. It's not very well enforced though and not checked as part of the MOT as the testers usually don't have the right equipment to measure it correctly. |

I was pulled in my old Audi by a jobsworth while on my way to my Father's funeral and informed that my front window tints were illegal and that they would have to be removed.

The tints were already done on my fatty when I bought it. Its not something I would've paid to have done. I'd already taken it off the rear screen as I couldn't see out. It looks a bit stupid now 2 thirds well blacked out & the other third tinted green. It might all have to go but it is useful for stopping scrotes & scratters from peering in. |
