The Law and Tinted Vehicles

[greggle71]

I would love to know where I can carry my vehicle to get tested to confirm the current % and know if I need to take action. I rather pay a one time fee rather than buy a light meter that I will use once

I also like the idea of it being part of the criteria for inspection but we all know that a vehicle can get inspected today and get tinted tomorrow so I guess that negates the idea

[adnj]

Every state in the US that regulates transmissivity (tint requirements) has a law that is written very similarly to what is proposed in Trinidad. The percentages may be different though. Some are higher and some lower.

Sun load and vehicle interior temperatures are not as high as in some states like Arizona and New Mexico where average maximum temperatures are about 10°C higher than here. UV here is very high (around 12) and about the same as Denver, CO (high UV because of the altitude). I know because I've sent more than a few vehicles to both for warm weather and high altitude testing.

Trinidad has more rain but the temperature and UV levels are not extreme by comparison.

Are you crazy? This is the tropics. What is needed are laws that are measurable and enforceable so that people can comply, and not this dotish "it looking too dark" police sheit.

we not crazy...we too busy looking as USA UK Australia tint laws in order to determine OUR tint laws cause yunno those countries also in the tropics too nah boi dan boi.....

And they determine if a tint is too dark how?

well hoss.... dem eah say how dey say what dark is too dark at all nuh..... all they find dat makin sense is studin different countries - USA UK & Australia....as dem places also located in d tropics and also receive d same amt of heat and uv radiation as we nah hoss..... so is all what dem say hadda go.....

/end of sarcasm.

the underlying factor in this entire topic is somebody have to tender for the light meter contract....talk done

I get the contract to supply the light meter, happy now ??

For decades men asking for a scientific way to measure tint and not relying on the police officer opinion. Now that progress is being made, people studying who getting contract .At the end of the day the meters have to be bought. You cannot go in the Gulf of Paria and throw a line and catch some free light meters You fcuking mad yea. Is this kind of backward thinking that will have us 100 years behind the rest of the world.

I doubt this inshan fella so dohtish, but then again, he seem to be trying real hard to show everybody what level he on.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Works and Transport Minister Rohan Sinanan says the proposed laws in the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill, 2019, will ensure the tint on vehicles is properly handled and not via Licensing officer’s whim and fancy.

He said a transport officer once told him he determined if a tint was too dark or was appropriate according to whether the vehicle’s driver was Indo-Trinidadian and Afro-Trinidadian.

Sinanan said he was shocked and immediately called top Transport brass, ordering drafting of a new law.

“I said, this can’t continue,” Sinanan said during debate on the bill at yesterday’s Senate sitting.

Makes some sense though . The law states that the persons must be visible/ be able to recognise . A lighter skinned person would be more visible in the same vehicle than a darker skinned person . The same goes for the colour of the interior . If you have black seats versus cream coloured , the visibility is different .

Also does that law address whether it is daytime or night? The same tint which might be visible during the day may not be at night especially in an area without street lights.

Tint Meters Coming

Minister of Works and Transport, Rohan Sinanan, said very soon officers would have tint meters to assist them in determining if a vehicle's tint is too dark.

[agent007]

[gastly369]
