Saw a nice tricked-up black Classic in London the other day, complete with snorkel, suspension lift and tinted windows.
Not unusual, apart from it had blue flashing lights on the inside and was attending to an accident - it was an unmarked police car. Wonder if they take it laning at weekends?

Was the rangie tinted to the front windows? as the fuzz round here ( North Wales) have started a mega clamp down on tinted front ( not windscreen) windows. This started because some woman got off killing a guy as she claimed she did not see him due to the Voyager she had just bought had been tinted by the previous owner. hell of an excuse but she got off with it - apparently!
Can you clarify?
Do you mean tinted driver / passenger door windows?
This, AIUI is not an offence, but IANAL :-)

As I understand it you have to have x% of light able to pass through the windscreen.

Yes, but I'm not sure how this is relevant to door windows?
Yes the front driver and passenger windows are only allowed a 25% tint wich equates to naff all - most new cars come with close to that anyway. Most tint films begin at 50% which equates to "light smoke" 75% "dark smoke" and
100% is "midnight".I've had a quote of £200 to do the Disco - I'll get round to it once the decorating is done and the drive is tarmacced and the shed is finished and the garage is built........................extension done..............etc, etc
oh why did I buy a Landie? if I'd have bought a run of the mill motor i would not have this mad urge to spend a small fortune on it..
It's a different percentage. The windscreen must transmit a % of light through, and the drivers/passengers side windows must also transmit a % of light through. Rear windows, and rear side windows are not affected.

You've only just sussed this? Most of us have had this statement pinned on the office / workshop / kitchen wall for ages...
I'm half expecting Nikki to be wearing a cross stiched T shirt with it on too :-)
