SIMBO Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 hi all got stopped tonight for tinted windows in inverurie looks like they are they are going for it as they had a member of the v i with them with a meter not good . david
WRC No 1 Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 hi m8 i got mine done on sat. i got limo tint on all back and a light on the front. i past the t/p meny times last night but never stoped me so must be ok. wullie
Iaing Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 So what happened? Did you get a rectification notice? Iain
SIMBO Posted February 7, 2005 Author Posted February 7, 2005 yes my front drops were under 45% so i got a 10 day prohibition notice and that was just a light tint i had they told me that they are going to be checking emisions and noise level next can they not go catch real criminals. david
neilswrx Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 heard that if you fail emissions check £60 on the spot fine your right about catching real criminals(had my mirrors stolen off my astra in a car park as wires were cut pinky and perky thought a car had knocked em off) but us motorists are far easier to hit
WUZ Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Thought the law states that you have up to seven days to get it to an MOT station for an emmissions retest. They cannot fine you like that. After all your Lambda sensor may have just failed, it might not be that you simply have not CAT's on the car Russell
johns Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 We do have a local double centre-cat section that will fit on most cars in about 10 minutes. Emissions are clean, and reduces noise level (and performance) drastically.
Power Junkie Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 So where do we stand with tints?? I have front tints but standard rear's! could they make me change the glass??
WUZ Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 They can force you to remove the tint from your front windows Russell
WRC No 1 Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 hi We got our windows done and we got advised that our front windows are legal and we can only be advised to take it off the police cant actualy take it off there and then our windows are only 50% tint. However if your window had some sort of tint on it before e.g standard tint that some cars do have like a blue tinge or dark tinge thro them, getting them properly done can affect the overall light showing thro the tint so thats when they have the power to start peeling it off in front off you. Hope this info helps you Wullie
SIMBO Posted February 8, 2005 Author Posted February 8, 2005 it was the vehicle examiner that gave me the prohibition notice the traffic cops just stood back and left him to it . the actual amount you are alowed is 70% the standard tint on factory tinted window is 76% which doesnt allow alot of tint. cheers david
