New law against rear tinted windows in Lahore?

[haseeb.basharat]

Tints are illegal. No matter what % you got.

[hamza_xeg]

Sick of this stupid law. I have various % of window tints on all windows except the front and two left side ones. My sole purpose is to block a bit of the heat. Don't know how people drive without window tints. One time a thulla even tried taking away all the shades from the trunk of my station wagon. Make a clear law. Allow a certain % of tint on the rear and front glass like other countries. Make a law that states you have to lower your windows if you approach a police checkpoint. Something like that. I will only accept this law if it's carried out for each and every one. Let's be honest, it's applies on selected people.

This foolish and outdated law, like many other such laws in Pakistan, are only enforced on common people without any logic. One Would hardly see any government official following these laws.

Chiming in on this thread, is there a "better" quality of shades that are in the middle of actual shades and tints. Something that acts like a shade and works like a tint.

Maybe that has to be customized? I'm not sure. I only hear 2 options shades or tints. Why not something in the middle?

[tahasiddique766]

Most laws on vehicle window tinting are concerned with the levels of "light transmittance" or "luminous reflectance" that the vehicle's safety glass allows. ... So, having a tint means lower levels of lights which endangers the driver and the other citizen's life because there won't be much visibility during the night. It's better to think more about our laws before trashing them online.

Well its means European or British cars which has factory fitted tinted glass fitted are banned to import in Pakistan.
I have Range Rover and BMW 7 series all windows are tinted does it mean they are illegal to drive in Pakistan?

[sameerulhaq064]

Nope, factory tinted glass are allowed.

[farooqk80]

Using tints is illegal 50% 1% or 100% simple as that

Hello,

Although it's an old thread I had some recent encounters with the Police regarding my car tints so thought to share the experience with fellow citizens on "How to not Victimized by Police"
There is no concrete law in Pakistan but a penalty exists which is applicable within the Jurisdiction of Punjab but at no point, it provides a further explanation or directions regarding tearing/removing tints from private property.

Per THE PROVINCIAL MOTOR VEHICLES ORDINANCE 1965, Twelfth Schedule Violations and Penalties. Driving a motor vehicle with tinted/ covered glasses has a fine of Rs.500. This is applicable on Cars and Jeeps Only. Bikes and commercial vehicles are exempt from it.

As far as a percentage is concerned, there is no specified term used in law regarding the percentage which gives an open space to go for 100%

Now in order to exercise the fine, the officer must either belong to Punjab Excise and Taxation or City Traffic Police Officer. Punjab Police has no right to exercise this Law and threaten you with "Gaari Baand Ho ge"

So next time, If you are stopped by the Police, Please exercise your fundamental right to inquire and if they drag you with a lame game, simply show them a copy of the Punjab Laws. Sharing Ordinance below in the link for convenience.

Interesting. Please also share who is allowed to stop and search the vehicle and under what conditions.

[Rameezi]

For some reason there seems to be no mention of tint on this link anymore

[Rameezi]

[Rameezi]

Its number 7

[xenerking]

so even using shades/blinds will get u a ticket, right

Interesting topic. I thought that only in the USA are stupid rules of law that prevent people from living. But it turns out there are such things even in Pakistan. I think the authorities almost always abuse their powers when they prohibit tinting or do unperturbed shopping. But if in the USA you can still find articles like https://www.hg.org/legal-articles/4-defense-strategies-with-an-insider-trading-defense-lawyer-62279 about how to act in a legal field, then in the case of you and your car, it looks quite strange.

what about rear windshield and quarter windows of vehicle like fortuner. All other 4 windows totally clear.
