Scottish traffic cops are like the Stazi up here - no give or take. They'd do the same thing. No tint on the front windows darker than 75% clear, which in fairness most come from the factory already tinted to that level. They will make you pull it off at the roadside normally. I've seen them do it in Edinburgh.

Aye, seen plenty folk ripping their tints out at the side of the road, especially back in 2005 when the Five O first got the boxes to measure opacity.
No, I’m playing with fire on this one, boys. 70%. My risk.
70% is OK on the side front windows but only 75% allowed on the windscreen. Out of interest how much will the tinting cost you?

I’m not tinting the full windscreen, just a sun strip.
To be honest, I didn’t want to tint at all but an old colleague of mine was out of work and decided to start up this tinting and wrapping company so I’m doing it to support him more than anything.
£90 for the tints and sun strip including labour.
