It shouldn't be the worry of being caught that makes you want to remove them. Think why the law is there, so you can have a clear view of the road. would you tint your windscreen to that level? What would happen if you don't spot a child on a push bike with no lights one night and pull out on them? I have been to a nasty accident with a motorcycle and a mini with illegally tinted front windows.

I hope this doesn't come across as me moaning or lecturing you as that is not my intention, i'm just telling you about my experiences/thoughts so feel free to ignore them!

You may fall in to the 'words of advice' level and not even get a ticket but I personally wouldn't risk any illegal tint on my windows just in case!

Rubbish!! Should we not wear sun glasses either then?? What if you reverse over the child because of your rear tints?? Oh that's ok your allowed rears done!! Anyway you can see through tints easily. It's just the po po want to be able to see in.

Andyf is on a distinguished road
The legislation was brought in following a fatal collision where tinted windows were to blame, not 'rubbish' in my opinion.

Vans and lorries don't have any windows behind the driver so there is no problem tinting the rears on a car. I see what you mean though.

As I said, I wasn't lecturing anyone I was mearly giving advice from another point of view. If you think it's rubbish and only done so the police can see then fine but don't be surprised if you have a minor accident and rather than get a driver improvement scheme you find yourself off to court to tell the magistrates why you got it done.
