It was weird but if they are legal then I can see a few doing it but I doubt if it is legal.

Re: Orange windscreens - is this a new fad?
Hey there! I just stumbled upon this thread and noticed the discussion about those orange windscreens. Just wanted to let you know that those are actually [car window shades] that have been getting pretty popular lately. They're great for blocking out the sun and keeping your car cooler. As for whether they're legal or not, it depends on where you live. Some places allow them as long as they don't obstruct your view while driving, while others might not allow them at all. So, it's always best to check your local laws before getting one. Sorry if I sound too like a newbie. I'm actually a newbie here..

So the police are finally realising that it's illegal? I'm certain there's already a law in place regarding the strength of tint allowed on the front windows and windscreen.Jenky wrote: ↑20 Apr 2023, 10:26All illegal because I know someone who was ordered to fix it.Steve30000 wrote: ↑19 Apr 2023, 19:03
