Crackdown on tints
June 30, 2010
TINTED windows may be considered cool to some, crucial security for others but heavy tinting is a road hazard and many people drive with illegal levels of visibility, police say.
Yesterday, members of the Melbourne Traffic Management Unit conducted Operation Clear View, targeting drivers with illegal window tinting.
The road block on Lygon Street tested 80 cars, with 22 defect notices issued because of illegal tinting.
Mr Robinson said the drivers have seven days to rectify the problem.
Acting Senior Sergeant Phil Robinson said windows with less than 35 per cent visible light transmission were not only illegal, but also dangerous.
