[Spitfir3]

there isn't an actual "legal percent limit" it all boils down to how well the officer's vision is

so if the officer blink as a bat yuh could get strip down for eem %35

Section 23 1(d) of the Motor Vehicles and Road Transportation Act Chapter 48:50 states that it is an offence to have a vehicle windshield or window so tinted or darkened that it obscures the view of inside the vehicle from the outside.

It does not properly define in terms of percentage how light or dark the tint should be.

As a result, we cannot inform the members of the motoring public as to what is considered legal in the eyes of the police force," Knaggs told the Express.

Trinidad and Tobago motorists have operated on the premise that tints which allow a certain percentage of light through a vehicle's windows are acceptable.

A "Visible Light Transmission Percentage" of 35 per cent has been generally considered the legal norm for tints but many local drivers have used 20 per cent tints.

Those laws are for plebs like me; do G5 and drive round with a welding mask, show them how Gr8 you really are

[kiran8977]

All tint illegal because all tint obscures the view of the driver so

[MarkDeGr8]

Btw u guys know if the number plates with the white background with black carbon fibre plates legal?

[shogun]

Depends on d officer's vision & mood at the time.

[Slartibartfast]

Just roll down all your windows anytime you coming up to a road block and you good. If an officer stop you just be polite and make sure you have all your documents ready so you out of there before he have chance to think twice about asking about your tint.

[MarkDeGr8]

Thanks fellas. I just doh want spend money to tint over and then have to strip it or pay fines.. Some cops bad mind...

[redmanjp]

why don't they just change the law to be less subjective, like they did with the breathalyser?

[Islandboy.7]

Depends on d officer's mood at the time.

[zoelikescheese]

[Slartibartfast]

Bear in mind that tint fades after a while and In this heat lately that 20% will look like 35% very quickly. I have 20% all around and a 50% semi metallic black whole front no problems to date concerning tint.

[MarkDeGr8]

Thanks bro

[matthew2730mvp]

Also note that some cars come with dark factory tint within the glass , all glass (except the driver and passenger and windshield) so some bad mind officer will write u a ticket for something u hav no control over..

Just for those that don't know a police officer CANNOT demand or force you to strip your tint off ur vehicle as only a licensing officer has such authority

[Dizzy28]

But are you going to tell them no??

No they cannot, but they also cannot allow an offense to continue, so basically if the vehicle still had the tint they have to impound the vehicle and have it taken to the LO, where if deemed illegal one of the steps that can be taken is the vehicle being deregistered as it contravenes the registration of the vehicle.

So go strong one of these days they go start to make big man cry.
