Windows comes with a factory 30% tint so I guess 10% on top gives a rough 58.1%.
One of the tricks they can sometimes use is doing the light test in the shade, which gives a slightly darker reading.
And the fighting real crime thing is a bit boring now... traffic coppers are fighting real crime relevant to their job - traffic crime. Did you also know they also do other really out of order things like stop drunk drivers and people with no insurance? And they chase car thieves too!!

I agree that their job is important and 'he was only doing his job'. But I'm not a criminal, have no points on my licence, have never had an accident, and he seemed to make out that I was a danger to society if I drove another yard. Had it been mid-afternoon you would never have been able to tell they were on there, it was only that it had just turned to dusk that they made any noticeable difference.

they cannot check the tint unless in direct sunlight!!
i know of people pulled over and had the police try and check the tints under street lamps, with a torch etc,
dont hold me to it, but i swear by the traffic book they have to give you a 7 day ticket to get your vehicle checked and if illegal get them removed!!

They now the law and there always right. But the way they talk to people some times is well out of order. I was at work yesterday delivering 100 tubs of 5 litre oil. Pulled up out side the garage when a traffic cop told me u cant park there. Tried to explain that a was unloading. But he was aragant and said that I still had to move the van so I jumped in the van and moved it literally 3 meters down the road then he fined me £60 for not wearing a seat belt when I moved it the three meters, which in my opinion is very petty and a wast of tax payers money.

a guy on the old site (phillspug) got pulled for his limo tints and made to remove them there and then.When you have the fronts tinted you sign a disclaimer (at tintcentres anyway) to say you admit theyre illegal on the front windows.
Most front windows are tinted from factory close to the legal limit aswell. |
No way he had his done with me lol, i havent heard from him since the old site.

What! What an absolute a*****e! I cant stand the majority of them. Some of them are really polite and just ask a few questions and then just say have a good night and thats it but some... makes me angry.
I feel sorry for you having to remove the tints there and then at a pickup zone. How embarassing like you said, but what can you do..
