as a person whos been pulled for tints. the only advice i can give is even if you know/think its legal the police will tell you they arent, but there is a cheaky way around it if you have the danglies to make a point, i did have only just illegal tints on a previous impreza and was pulled for anti-social driving,
(AKA being 21 in an impreza with ins and tax/mot completly legit)

when they measured the tints it said 65%

i argued that 65% was only 5% away and they quickly told me it was blocking 65% not letting through 65%. anyhows i then asked if the machine was callibrated that morning like i believe all of there measuring equipment has to be and i was sent on my happy little way with nothing but i suggest you pull them off when you get home, instead of the tear them off now and a fine like ive seen them do to so many friends.:D
 
they wouldn't have been only just illegal if they were blocking 65% then would they... its pretty easy to tell the difference between a 65% and a 35% tint!

Best thing to do is have the fronts done by a tinting specialist who has measuring equipment... get a receipt and if pulled you can say to the officer "mr x did it at mr x's tints and measured it for me... should all be legal officer here's the reciept"

Thats how i'd play it anyway!
 
i had it done by a tint specialist. and i was told they were one shade to dark and the figures he quoted me were only just. thats why i thought was letting through 65%, yer never no it might well have been letting through 65% and they trying to bull**** me...
on the more likley side i think it was a combination of aftermarket tints ontop of a factory tinted window. so would have come up illegal even if id had legal aftermarket put on
 
top tip for you guys, if your tinting i would advise putting some switched lights in the door cavity to 'inspect the winder mechanism' and accidently flick it on when they use the tint master if you get pulled :D
 
most window tint companys WILL NOT tint front glass, and if they do , they will tell you to keep your gob shut where you had it done.
 
Not only that, it's definitely dangerous driving at night, especially if you pull out of a side turning with no lamp posts nearby. I had mine on the front for three years, and it's very difficult to see, say a cyclist with no lights approaching. Was luckily never stopped, but mine must have been near the max allowance. So pulled them off a few months ago. What a difference it made. Glad I did it.
 
if a bike is riding at night on the road with no lights id hit them if i didnt have tints, its not like they are dark smoke ffs they are ultra light blue! some people just wanna moan all the time haha
