New UK Tint Laws

December 30, 2003

I've now been in contact with the department of transport (the ones responsible for making the law on tint levels) and have also contacted the ggf the people responsible for the report,I've asked them when was the report done and what was the outcome or the views of the d.o.transport? I'm waiting on a reply from both of them!

I just had my meter certified and calibrated and comes with a sticker to certify it, cause it was reading way to low, cost was 35 bucks and I was told that the meter put out today only read bad from low battery or the electronics inside and most should last 5-6 years with out having to get them certified. I've dropped mine plenty of times so Im probally at fault the last calibration on my unit was done in 1998.

still no reply but then again it is the holidays so I'll keep you all up to date when I hear of anything! by the way dapaa I've read the report again(4th time now!) and when they say they recommend a vlt limit of 30% then that means that in their eyes as long as 30% light is coming in as opposed to the current level of 70% light coming in then if we install 35% even taking into account a couple of percent for the glass we'll still be ok!. a 35% film usually has a vlt of around 34 to 38% so take it as 34 plus 4 ish for the glass it takes the vlt down to 30%! tight but a lot better than it is with the 70% law! :thumb I wonder how many e mails I'll have to send before they either change the law or I get the police sent to my door with batons? :thumb
