Thought Id post this here as more people might see it.
Got pulled over by the law yesterday on the M6 and the copper tested me windows and declared they were too dark.
My car has now been issued with a defective vehicle notice and I have seven days in which to get it sorted out and send the notice, with approval stamp from an MOT garage to say its ok.
Thing is my windows, I always thought were in the legal limit- it apears not.
They are even lighter than the rear windows
My front windows let in 36.8% light and the law is 70%- end of that arguement.
Now I have to get em removed and its going to cost £90 to get it done apparently- even though the dealer told me any trouble take em off for free as done before any changes (copper said it changed about 6 months after this car was done)
Where do I stand with this now- should they come off for free- I dont have any paperwork stating this!
HELP!
