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.

Never thought I’d say this but I think it looks much better without the tints makes the whole cab look brighter and when you have the interior done everyone will be able see it better I’m glad they weren’t too harsh on you I thought they were very fair

[@Piglife101]

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

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😁

[@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.

[@ChokyoDK]

"The End"? This is just the beginning mate. Still need the 4-series and T-cab with side pipes 🔥🔥

[@Kermis-Opbouw-Kempen]

I think you don't need to put the tint back on, I think it looks even better without. Fantastic video, love from Belgium!

Tim you can get one way tint , dark from the outside full see through from the inside , or get proper tinted privacy glass , dark from the outside see through inside ,what limos use .

[@cooperchester2198]

[@Chef_JDog]

it looked great with the tints, but as you said yourself, it's definitely going to be better without them when you get your interior done. and well done mate we are all so proud of how far you have come from the tiktoks when you was at data shredders to now owning 2 lorries a trailer and a whole lorry sim. its very inspiring Tim and i genuinely aspire to be like you.

[@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

[@Dan_Gyros]

Good Stuff Tim! I think it still looks brilliant even without the Tinting! Excited to see the trailer!

Tim the max Window Tint on your front windows must be 30% Tint as The front side windows must let in 70% of Visible Light Transmission, Your truck will still look good with 30% tint & its quite a bit of difference from the Normal Standard Glass on the Truck.

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

Great video Tim! Can't wait to see the Trailer.

[@yvonprovost3925]

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 ! Greatings from Brittany.

If you still want a type of tint on your windows that you can remove and put back at will, if you have the roller blinds on the doors replace the fabric with a kind of tinted plastic so while driving you can pull them down and when vosa see you just retract them and say "no I have no tints you must have been seeing things 😂"

I was right next to the truck on the phone, then guess what baby shark came out on the air horns. I was laughing and because I was meeting my mum after college to go to the post office she asked what was that it was quite funny and think we were both laughing. Also good news put a deposit down on a car and collecting it Saturday so definitely doing truck spotting in my new car and definitely buying a trucker tim sticker to go on it.

you're allowed to have window tint but must meet legal limit which is like 70% light into the truck i think

[@philiprhodes5537]

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..
