In the UK, vehicle window tinting is regulated by the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, enforced by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and the police. The legal limits depend on the position of the window:
Front Windshield:
• Must let at least 75% of light through.
Front Side Windows (Driver & Passenger Windows):
• Must let at least 70% of light through.
Rear Side Windows & Rear Windscreen:
• No legal restrictions – you can tint them as dark as you like.
Penalties for Illegal Tints:
• If front windows are too dark, you could receive:
• A prohibition notice, preventing vehicle use until tints are removed.
• A Fixed Penalty Notice (fine).
• Court prosecution, which could result in a higher fine.
Chameleon Windscreens:
• Chameleon tints are legal if they allow 75% light transmission on the windshield.
• Always check the VLT (Visible Light Transmission) of the film before installation.
