It doesn't matter what us viewers think of the window tint, at the end of the day the DVSA have said to not have them so that's it - no window tints. It's not worth having a mark on your operator's license and also, as a You Tube Trucker you need to be crystal clean because you are a lot more visible.

I always had limo tint on my cars for years. It does seriously obscure your view at junctions at night. A copper pulled me and said, if you’re involved in an accident at a junction with a cyclist or pedestrian or biker, they’ll blame you, whoever’s fault it was, and you’ll end up in jail. Not had tinted windows since

No one seems to mention these random clips and memes Tim is editing into his videos but I think some of them are hilarious 😂

[@Thor_drones]

You'll definitely get pulled a couple more times in next few months. They'll make sure your above board. Best to leave tint off. Yes it looks nice but we all knew it was well within the grey area time wise 😂😂. And with the interior definitely leave it off. Get some nice interior lighting instead

[@willviggars]

I reckon a light smoke 70% on the side windows will give a half decent look but stays legal and should see the interior a bit 👍

[@christianmahne]

Don’t put the tints back. More light = better video and besides it’s just not worth the DVSA hassle. Let them have their win and they’ll leave you alone and if you can’t live without them just put legal 30% tints back

[@willviggars]

@@christianmahne tint is measured by light transmitted through the film. So 70% on the side windows means it lets that amount through, keeping it legal :) it’s easy to get mixed up but “30%” would be very dark 👍

[@rockabillypreformancerc1639]

its actully 70% side and 75 % windscreen that legal requirements

[@garlicbreadlikesqfes]

Tint is measured in VLT (Visible light transmitted), a 70% tint would be 70% of visible light transmitted (light), 30 would be very dark

[@AdmPugh]

Can’t wait to see the new trailer behind your lorry, and when the interim is done, it will be the icing on the cake. Bad luck on getting stopped by dvsa, but at least now it happened you can relax a bit, when seeing them about. I didn’t think they would fine anything mechanically wrong, as it looked after by ace mechanic Shaun. Yes it does look strange without windows tints, but for now I would just get Dan to get all that glue off and leave them clear, but I’m surprised they didn’t say anything about the blue beacons.

[@snowysnowwolf6228]

Glad that you have been forced to remove your tints

So I have passed my hgv test this week just waiting for tachograph card but but just want to say thank you trucker tim for all the inspiration and great videos.when I watched your videos for the first time I decided to go for my test and know I’m all passed ready to go hopefully I’ll see you on road and give you some TONES😁

[@derektaylor2941]

That seems heavy handed by DVSA to me. Until fairly recently, the requirement to issue a PG9 had to be a defect sufficient to cause an immediate risk to passenger or public safety. But not now. It is anything they can get away with. I've had enough of them. I've been in this for 26 years and that's me finished. There is no more mutual respect. I was at a tourist destination at Easter with a coach load of kids. They'd knotted the seatbelts together on the back row. In days gone by that'd have been a simple "Right, we'll check the coach next door- come and see us when it's sorted and we'll just issue you an inspection notice." This time it was a prohibition. It took me 5 minutes to undo and I even had spare belts in the hold if needed. Now I have a PG9 on my record and like Tim here, I was warned that I was lucky it was not marked 'S'. Air leaks are the DVSA favourite now... Even the slightest leak is a MOT fail. "Would you accept a leak of brake fluid from your car brakes?" // "No, Sir. But then again my car isn't generating new oil at a rate of around 7 times the amount I will need at any one time as it's a closed system. Air brakes are not." When a DVSA inspector does not even understand how air brakes work, how can you ever speak to them? The problem is that neither freight nor passenger has a strong trade group. RHA is a joke as is CPT.

[@johnandrews8983]

Hi Tim The truck looked better with the tints on but it really ain't worth getting an s on your operator's license I know someone who has that on there's & they literally get pulled by vosa all the time its like anpr But you can have your windows tinted with special tint That gives that same look but let's enough light through as long as it let's 70% light through your ok Its the same with windscreen tint & headlight tint too Love the videos Keep them coming 👍👌🤙🤟

Tim, you can get factory tinted windows, look them up, then it should not be any problems..altough here in Finland it is allowed to tint on vans and trucks

Hello Tim . In France we say that " hell hide in the details " and so , when you're lucky to have the double glazing on your vehicle with the typical black line all around, you mustn't hide this by fitting black " stickers " on your windows !( WHY isn't it till like this on the Next Gen 😢?) so your truck looks really nicer now !

Sad that you had to remove the tints tbf they looked well tbf.. Funny thing is when I worked in the Netherlands we where allowed anything on the trucks including tints and the Dutch vosa didn’t mind and where not too arsed about loud exhausts either and you could have as many lights on the vehicle as you liked which again was never a problem.. Says a lot about the country we live in when I’ve worked not only in the Netherlands but also in Switzerland and around Europe and they have a different approach to vehicle standards.. Odd thing I did notice was that tints only became illegal around the time the mobile phone laws whwre put into place because before then it wasn’t an issue but now they don’t want you avoiding detection for not wearing a seatbelt or being on the phone and with tints it was difficult to see what you where doing especially when they where parked at the side of the road whereas now they will allow rear tints just so you feel like you have a small win but not allow them in the front windows.. I remember when custom cars where a thing in the 80’s and most of those had limo black windows and we never had any issues but now it seems to suddenly be a road safety issue I just can’t think why it would go from not being a problem to being a road safety issue in a couple of decades🤔 Best part about driving for the Dutch was that uk vosa hated us because they cant issue an s strike on an operators licence they have no control over and it annoyed them quite badly coz them vosa boys love to be in control of everything..
