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 before 1 April 1985:
The windscreen and front side windows must allow at least 70% of
light to be transmitted through them.

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,
then the vehicle does not meet legal requirements.

The purpose of the law is to ensure the drivers’ ability to see the
road is not excessively restricted by glass tint.

It restricts the driver’s vision, especially in dark conditions. This
may prevent drivers from seeing other road users or pedestrians.

It also prevents other road users and pedestrians from confirming
through eye contact that they have been seen.
