REDZED

Thanks for reply Ossian,I also see both sides ,but as I was not aware of the new law & not having fitted the film myself,just thought the police could of give me 7 days to have removed it instead of banging a £30 fine on me.

Cheers Goit.

Sorry lads when I said "etc" after battering the elderly in previous post .I should have been more precise by including what etc meant."Police should be catching car thieves" "Tax & insurance dodgers" "Dangerous drivers." Sorry I forgot that when criminals leave the scene in a high powered car after battering an old person or an armed robbery ,the police on the beat give chase with their rocket powered boots. I'm sure no one on this forum would do anything to cause death or injury by their visibility being poor ,but as mentioned by Dave Marley if you believe it to be a problem just lower your window when required.I have always been particularly aware of motorcyclist & fast cars after losing a good mate in 1996 when a van pulled in front of his GSX1100R. When I was pulled it was perfectly good light & I very rarely use my car at night but if I did I would use it sensibly.I have owned Zs for 10 years accident free at great speeds and have no intention of changing from a Z "Think their mint".Don't think I'd be going to a Fiesta but I'd love to know how sunglasses add to the security of your car opposed to privacy glass . P.S Nice one Neil.

So what do we do then WillieO ,have some seperate tinted glass to fit when the sun comes out.Plus for further information it is also used for a security measure even though not originally fitted by me .As for plods "I'm sure everybody else would agree ,they should be donating their time to catching real criminals ,that batter the elderly ,etc.Instead of picking on people who pay enough out to run their motor legally & to a high standard on the road already." I notice your the only negative feedback at the moment.Question/ Which member of your family is a plod then?

Wish I could see him in the BMW when its been tinted (still probably wouldn't be able to it would be too dark in their car).Thanks for all the positive feedback everybody.What I didn't mention "which was nice" was school was just kicking out and all these lads coming passed shouted to me"Nice motor mate" then shouted "Eh copper lucky he stopped cause he could have blown you away" So at least we can all take satisfaction in knowing why the police really pull us over.THEIR THAT PI**ED OFF,THAT WITH ALL THIER FANCY GADGETRY ,LIGHTS,SIRENS ,ETC,IT STILL DOES'NT GIVE THEM AS MUCH PRESCENCE ON THE ROAD AS A 300ZX. So we all know they'll "Never have more cred than a ZED!"

Shunter,what the law do is lower your window and then place the glass into a groove in an electronic box which gives a digital readout ,then in my case grin from ear to ear issue a £30.00 fine & gladly proceed with their useless day to day quest of pi**ing motorist off (depending on what you drive) .Pity they don't donate more time to catching real criminals .Cheers for your comment Scottywill,nice to know someone thinks the same.

Thanks for getting back with the advise.Think I 'll pay up & remove film as Police presence around here is way too high for me to go unnoticed.Cheers.

Well got greeted today by an unmarked vectra flashing its blues & sounding its nasty two tone horn.Then a rather tall ? got out wearing black & white clothing and a massive smug grin."good afternoon sir, nice motor,do you know what I've pulled you for? . In my mind "gee let me think ,I'm driving something a bit different & your a TO**ER". Boy were my thoughts right ,he said the glass to the front of my A posts was too dark. I told him the car had been bought with this film already fitted but he was not interested.He said it should allow 70% of light through it .He then lowered the window and placed his gadget on it and took great satisfaction in telling me mine only allowed 16% and issued me with a £30.00 fixed penalty.The question is should I appeal (I hadn't got a clue about this law) I thought people were encouraged to use privacy glass for security to cut down crime.You look after your motor ,everything legal & they still can't leave you alone.Sorry for going on ,but well pi**ed off for getting pulled all the time for driving a 300 I think the world of.Any advice greatly appreciated. Cheers John

Thanks jaffa & AndyP. Not fitted yet ,so I'll let you know how I get on,( good info on the wheel & tyre checker)Cheers.

Alright everyone? Just bought myself a set of 19s, 275:35:19zr rear & 235:35:19zr front but can remember that it was mentioned on the forum that the rears should be running on 30 series profile.Would be gratefull of any advise on this (if this setup is ok etc). Cheers!
