Background Information: Currently newly licensed vehicles will not be accepted if rear passenger windows let through less than 30% light. However we are seeing more and more vehicles manufactured with darker window tints, which do not support current policy. Tinted window restrictions for rear passenger windows have been in place for public safety. However, as of 1st April 2023 all new vehicles will be required to have CCTV installed. With the requirement of CCTV, tinted window requirement can be considered to be removed. Vehicles with film tinted windows will not be accepted.
