VOSA LIGHTMETER



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 !!

I was thinking that aswell mate, try and find a loophole scooby! <img border="0" alt="[smokin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions036.gif" />

the other day i was in a mates bro's bmw and we got pulled by them VOSA people ! they checked his 2 front side things with this little box light thing and it let 0.6% light through or sutton so he has got 14 days to take them out ! but he said he aint oing to because he don't live round here he from liverpool ! does same apply to liverpool ? plz help !

the same rule apply were ever you are and if he has been given 14 days to remove them and he doesn't then he can be fined and given points i think <img border="0" alt="[does this help]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions041.gif" />

if this rule apply's for cars does it apply for limo's ? coz i think they shud give u ppl with tints the money u paid for the ints back first ! then u take em out

YES
Anything after the front & front side windows is under this law

After that its up to you as this would make vans illegal to drive lol.

he got pulled in again by the village hotel in bromborough and they called his reg num up on the walkie talkie thing and they said if he get's caught again they will remove the whole window and his car will be undrivable ! becus he aint aloowed to drive without windows or sutton !

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" />

he got pulled bout n2 weeks ago and got the ticket thing but it was second time he got pulled they threatened to take em out !

yer he pull me and got some one to come and test them he wrote its should read 70% and mine was 19% am gutted now car won't be the same
