Tinted Windows

Designed to reduce the visible light transmitted through a car's windows, thus removing much of the sun's glare and providing the car's occupants with a level of privacy. However, to be legal in the UK, car windscreens must allow at least 75% of available light into the cabin, whilst the front side windows must allow 70%. This is to ensure that the driver has proper visibility of the road.
