Window Tinting Amendments to Legalisation

During the early part of 2004, Section 32 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations will be Amended to include "window Tint Films" where such Materials attached to the glass are capable of reducing the Visible Light Transmission of forward windows to
below prescribed levels (70% VLT for front side windows). These changes will be back- dated to become applicable from 1st January 2004.

This will effectively ban the practice in future of applying Virtually all tinted films to windows forward of the B-Post On any vehicle that is to be driven on UK roads.

(Front passenger and drivers windows only)

The owner of a vehicle that is in a non-roadworthy condition (front side windows excessively dark) may find that they void their insurance cover if they continue to Drive it on public roads. In the event of an accident, the Insurance Company may refuse To pay part or all of their claim. You may also be given penalty Points and a Fine If challenged by either a Police Officer or by an Inspector from the Department for Transport's Vehicle Inspectorate.
