Vehicle & Operator Services Agency (VOSA) LEGAL STATEMENT

Road Vehicles (Construction & Use) Regulations 1986 as amended specify the minimum levels of light that must pass through the windscreen and front side windows.

The Limits are:

• Motor vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1985:
• The light transmitted through the windscreen must be at least 75%.
• The front side windows must allow at least 70% of light to be transmitted through them.

If the glass is tinted to a point whereby it lets through less light, the vehicle does not meet legal requirements.
