Car window tinting legislation
Legislation for vehicle front and back windows
At TwilightTintTMwe strive to inform you about car window tinting legislation. We want you to leave us road legal.
Penalties for having wrongly tinted windows.
It's illegal to fit or sell glass (or a vehicle already fitted with glass) that breaks the rules on tinted windows.
The police or the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) vehicle examiners use light measuring equipment to measure window tint.
If your windscreen or front side windows are tinted too much you could get:
- - a 'prohibition notice' stopping you using your vehicle on the road until you have the extra tint removed
- - a penalty notice or court summons
For more information visit GOV.UK or Window tinting laws websites
Front windows are now part of the MOT test.
Having a vehicle that is not road legal could also invalidate your insurance.
We can measure your front windows for a small fee.
We offer a removal window tinting service should you front windows be illegal.
Regarding tail lights tinting, as this is not a service we offer, we would suggest you ensure you get a legal installation otherwise you may not be insured.
