Window Tinting Law
Car Window Tinting Law in the UK
Vehicle & Operator Services Agency (VOSA) Statement
The window tinting law in the UK states that the specifications are:
a) The law is for Motor Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1985
b) The light transmitted through the windscreen must be at least 75%.
c) The front side windows (to either side of the drivers’ head) must allow at least 70% of light to be transmitted through them.
If the glass is tinted to a point whereby it lets through less light, the vehicle is breaking UK Window tinting law.
So, what could happen if you flout the law?
a) You run the risk of being stopped and fined – you are basically handing the police a ‘reason’ to stop your vehicle. Who knows what they might find then, giving them a reason to impound the car if it is considered dangerous to drive and/or could be given a prohobition order until removed!
b) You will be required to remove the window tinting film (at cost) and present your car to the Police to show them that it has been returned to a legal status.
c) If you have an accident and it can be proven that the reduced vision caused by the illegal film was a contributing factor, you are likely to get part or full blame – even if it was not under normal circumstances your fault!
d) Even worse – your insurer – if they stand to be in a position where they are looking at full acceptance of liability (as you were at fault) – may determine that your insurance is invalidated! and you will be looking at footing the costs on your own for your own vehicle and any other damage to third party vehicles or property.
Be warned - having tinted car windows might look great – and you may get away with it – but is it worth the risk?
