OO_LALA Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Well looks like the boys in blue are justifying their riding around in new volvos. And while they're at it topping up the xmas party fund!Got a pull yesterday, it was ironic really cos I was the only car o the road at the time, I believe they must have been bored. Apparently the front door windows, (to quote the reason on the ticket), Glass not prescribed 32%. WTF does that mean? Glass not prescribed? Aparently light should be 75% and was only 32%If I'd had my windows down I wonder what excuse he would have used to pull me then?Not happy at all, thats my monthly allowance gone and now I got no spending money.

+Doc+ Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 They have been pushing this law quite a lot lately, even to the point of waiting outside football grounds to catch all the footballers with heavily tinted front windows.Have you had an MOT lately? That should have picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO_LALA Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I had no options, just on the spot fine, like the old parking tickets.Wasn't advised on MOT, The miles I've done in the car and was never approached before. Either lucky or they had other things to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
