Just read this on the PNLD website
"In the windscreens (including rear windscreen) and front side windows of motor vehicles first used after 1st April 1985 there must be a minimum of 75% of light allowed through the window (for vehicles first used before 1/04/85 min of 70%).
The windows that are exempted from this are any windows, which the driver when sat in the driving seat is unable at any time to see any part of the road on which the vehicle is situated whether proceeding or waiting. The only exempt windows would be then, the rear windows on both sides.
Failure to abide by this means that you commit and offence and could be liable for a fine. Make sure the tints are checked by a professional."
From this I understand the rear screen must transmit 70% or 75% depending on age of car. Previously I understood that windows aft of the "B" pillar could be as dark as desired.
Have I misinterpreted?
