VR6Steve 0 Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 If you have not been, it is a good day out. Some very nice cars on show, and some brilliant concept cars too.Anyway, to my main point. We went in the Polo, and as we went into the NEC off the motorway we picked up a Police car, which glued itself to my rear bumper. We pulled into a parking space and the cop car stopped. I thought here we go, its tinted window time! ~ Sure enough I was right and got the full lecture on the legalities of tints whilst they were setting up their machine.Now my tints I think are far from dark. The new limit is 70% light getting through. Mine are only letting through 30%. &| Basically the copper said effectively manufacturers tints are already pretty much the legal limit. Take note anyone thinking of getting tints done.Anyway they let me off, by just saying they wanted me to be aware and to enjoy the show. PHEW! Link to post Share on other sites

eViL 0 Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Welcome to the wonderful Police Force I've put up with since I started driving.The decent thing would have been to just ignore your tints (because they were actually legal) and not pull you over. Guaranteed they had sod all better to do.. Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 as you can see tough they werent legal, the polo was letting in 30% of light, when any less than 70% of light getting in is illegal, which is highly stupid, lol. but theres the law for ya, im probs not even gonna get mine done now, cant be assed witht the chew, cos the police round my way suck d*k, lol.[ Edited Mon May 31 2004, 04:43PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
