the guy at my local shop said it applies to those whove had it done before the law. | |

I love my licence, I drive carefully to make sure that my insurance doesnt get worse and that i dont waste all the hard work i've done on my car. Its not my fault that a load of wee wankers with no taste or knowledge about cars think its stylish to break the law or to push the law to extremes where safety is compromised and laws are tightened as a result. I'm sick of seing these wee pricks with an ecotec spoiler, hubcaps and an exhaust trim racing each other in 30mph zones and putting my insurance up among other things. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. | |

my mat got pulled last night on the way to Blackpool cruise. 3 cars went past us about 60mph in a 30 zone police man sat inside of the road let just about to pull out to go after them, saw my mates tints (light smoke!) and must have decided it was easier to pull him over than chase after the other cars! got off with it though cos he tested them and took him to the police car but then got called out on a pursuit! lucky bastard! | |

Depends what kind of tints u get done too, i.e crystal ones let in loads of light but are quite dark on the outside? | |

The third paragraph of that states that it is "to prevent the use of excessive tints where it presents a real danger" I might print out a copy of that legislation and quote that to the peeler and get him to sit in my car and tell me if he thinks it presents a danger. I wish i had leccy windows so i could quickly put them down if i was stopped. lol. | |

I've just had mine done. I knew about the new law but i've wanted tinted windows my whole life. They're not usually too bad about stuff like that over here unless ur takin the piss. Got stopped at a routine check point the other day and the peeler mentioned them but said it was a traffic branch matter. | |
