Does anyone know what limitations there are on car window tinting or wher tofind out . i am in UK?
Answers:
The legal position is that the front side windows on all cars must allow 70% of light to pass through them. That figure also applies to the windscreens of cars first used before April 1985; any car first used from then onwards has to let 75% of light through the windscreen
Window tinting is pants. Leave 'em as they are!
i think bike helmets its 17 percent, not sure about cars though
When you buy the tinting kit, it will tell you if it is suitable for night driving.
Cars with dark window tints make the occupants look like wallies and chavs, just don't do it.
I'm not sure what the limitations are but I do know that police now have a device which lets them test how much light is let in trough the windows and they can stop check you at any time so it's worth finding out.
The real restriction is on grounds of tastefulness. anything more than a light medium tint should be reserved for pimps and politicians.
What Chris F said.
Anything behind the front doors can be as dark as you like (because some vans have no windows at all behind the front doors).
But you will look like a chav, pimp or drug-dealer.
