Bet you couldn't see the driver on their phone.
It was weird but if they are legal then I can see a few doing it but I doubt if it is legal.

Surely the sellers are responsible.

Hey there! I just stumbled upon this thread and noticed the discussion about those orange windscreens. Just wanted to let you know that those are actually [car window shades] that have been getting pretty popular lately. They're great for blocking out the sun and keeping your car cooler. As for whether they're legal or not, it depends on where you live. Some places allow them as long as they don't obstruct your view while driving, while others might not allow them at all. So, it's always best to check your local laws before getting one. Sorry if I sound too like a newbie. I'm actually a newbie here..

Even handy for being on a mobile while driving, as you can't see the driver. Don't know how this is legal tbh

All illegal because I know someone who was ordered to fix it.

So the police are finally realising that it's illegal? I'm certain there's already a law in place regarding the strength of tint allowed on the front windows and windscreen.

There is and they have a small gizmo to check it there and then.
