@Reef0114 We are more than capable of using the machine. We haven't measured backwards. Law states 70%minimum light transmission. This is 33% light transmission. Device factors in the factory glass and any tint on that glass. For the offence we just nerd the actual reading on VLT.

@SameDayCoventry Traffic Commissioner can revoke the operator licence and be very effective with what they do. It may turn out that the company have no idea in which case the offence of Twoc would be progressed.

@SameDayCoventry Traffic Commissioner involved, who will look at the operator licence for the company etc. We will look at use cause permit etc, whether he should have been driving or not etc, may lead to a technical Twoc of the vehicle.

@lightbody @diomyx1 No limit on rear glass. 70% min light transmission on frond door glass. 75% min light transmission through windscreen. However people need to factor in the tint that the manufacturer has already in the glass on the vehicle, and do diligent research over who they use

@GordNordog Driver dealt with for court. Now we know who they are and will likely check in the future over this matter. Vehicle is all documented correctly so crushing it is never going to be an option.

@soummatt @JohnBoxall9 Drove past us with the number plate hidden. Then tried to say he hadn't. Tints are only just above the level of an immediate Prohibition.

Football duties again for us today. @dcfcofficial v @SheffieldUnited game. Also utilising time to remove a few more illegal E Scooters and E bikes where we can. 3 seized and likely off to the Crusher. #opsbikes

@smith_orlat Most of the posts are done by officers in their own time, opposed to duty time, which is never claimed for. There is no person on the accounts all day
