Now that is a good point, if its illegal to have tinted front windows, is it illegal to wear sunglasses while driving. Surely there is nothing to check the tint in a pair off sunglasses... mmm interesting. Getting back to the subject matter, checking the VOSA directives dosnt apply, when they state that tinted windows are not part off an MOT inspection, as where i'am in Northern Ireland they run under a diffirent system where tinted windows are part off the MOT system, even though when they tested my windows the vehicle was inside a building. The windows have not got a film over them, according to autoglass, the glass is actually manufactured with a tint, they are factory fitted and they do all have the E euro standard mark. But my appeal may have paid off, i doubt it, i have to take the vehicle back up to the test centre where it is going to have the windows re-tested in the open air. But anyone from Northern Ireland knows that these jobsworths do not like to be prooved wrong. Checking to see if the vehicle requires to have side windows fitted by law. If not im afraid it will be new front windows guys...... anybody know the approximite cost? Got the Disco to go up for her MOT next week.... DAMN!! wait till they get a load of her. Guy told me her wheels and tyres where illegal but she passed the MOT with them on last year so if she fails i will bring down my wrath on the DVLNI's head. Why the hell cant they bring the DVLNI into line with DVLC Swansea anyway. ****es me off makes me want to go out and bite the head off some old womens poodle
