just picked my car up from the garage had the windows tinted first scooby i have owned about 1 month 21 so insurance is high hope you like few more bits to come yet






this was my old car

 

tints look a bit dark. you aware of the roadside checks that are now in operation? if you get pulled you can simply rip em back off, bargain i beleive its just the fronts that are subject to the new laws.

 

And as the car is classed as unroad worthy, your insurance may be invalid. Looks great though!

I had to remove the tint off my old car once the law changed. I wasn't too impressed.

Out of interest when a law changes how are you supposed to know?

They stop you and give you a ticket. If they told you about these things then the coppers might have to get back to solving crime. And thats the last thing they want to do.

 

The nice people who tinted my windows wrote to me to tell me of the law change...and offered to remove the film for a small charge

Steve

 

crystal ball. you not got one yet. i dont think general public are expected to know ongoing changes . i would imagine that you would be given a 14 day vdrs form in order that you are given time to change things as a general rule when stopped at the roadside.

 

I was meaning in general. I guess its the citizen who is supposed to stay abreast of new laws but I wouldnt know where to start.

Your right, ignorance of the law cannot be used as a defence IIRC. So I suppose that does make you responsible. How your supposed to keep on top of them all......

 

I know when they brought in the window tint law they said they would be giving advisors for the first 6 months and then getting their money collection books out.

 

anyone got any pics of a 5 door bugeye with rear tints?

 

Just so that you know, the front tints you have there will be illegal. If you get stopped, they can give you a vehicle defect notice to get them sorted (less than a 30% tint), and it only applies to the front two windows and windscreen. (if I remember correctly)

But they do look nice

 

thank god u dumped the corsa i hate them every wee ned has got one with an exhaust bigger than i have on my scooby
