VOSA LIGHTMETER ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/members/temp/04june/lightmeter060304.jpg) This meter was shown to us by a police officer at southport beach cruise. As they went around advising cruisers about window tints. So i asked him about the law : Dont you have to have a light meter ? See the above image. Ah ha but isnt it true that you also have to be VOSA to enforce this ? DOH ! He was a vehicle inspector.  He was advising drivers of the law and testing window tints. Summary : Reduction of light. - 25% Front Screen Window
- 30% Front Side Windows
- 100% Rear and Rear Sides FULL BLACK
So the rears can be like a van totaly black.  On this day : As the above is the Law. + 5% Advice Note to Correct within 2 weeks.  + 10% Remove them at once. Or Notice to Impound, 3 Points £ 60 Fine !!  Nice bloke cool Quad

Look what i got today, Yipee...............
![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/members/temp/04june/cruisewirraltints001.jpg)
Roadside Police trap at the side of the road by Cammell lairds. Really nice officer and very friendly. He measured the light through my Tinted front side windows and you have to have LTV Value of 70% through these windows, Mine read a mear 19.30 % <img border="0" alt="[are u mad]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions050.gif" />
The officer then issued me with a vehicle defect notice to have the fault rectified within 14 day's. I then have to have them re-tested my a MOT centre and the above form stamped and returned by post. One slight problem though, MOT centres do not have Light Meters to test it <img border="0" alt=" " title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions049.gif" />
I have to contact the officer whom issued the ticket and he will meet me at Heswall police station to re-asses the fault once i have the tints removed.....
Another small fault, The officer has not filled in the very bottom of the ticket about what the fault is that i have to have rectified........ I presume i can take the vehicle to an MOT centre and they should stamp the ticket as no fault is recorded, he he.............
He gave me this Booklet for further information.

<img border="0" alt="[laff my ass off]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" /> I dont do MOT's anymore, we sub-contract them to a local garage. Hopefully in the near future we will be doing them again ????
I can get it stamped by any MOT Station as he hasnt stated what the fault is at the very bottom of the form....... <img border="0" alt="[blonde moment]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions037.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions049.gif" />
Going to slog this one out though to see how much info i can find out etc.... <img border="0" alt="[are u mad]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions050.gif" />

i don't think that they are aloud to do that matey, they would have to give him a ticket like they did with scooby then its either a warning and then you have to take then off if you don't then its a fine and points i think you would have to speak to scooby i think as he was pulled he would have more information <img border="0" alt="[does this help]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions041.gif" />
