But you can't stick it on tinted glass! you have to have a space around it or the thingymebob cant read the tag thing. Which means a new windscreen if youre tinted or a replacement piece of glass!

Well that's the emiratis screwed then.


Tinted windscreens are stupid anyway. Esp when trying to drive with that, sunglasses, mobile in one hand and half a brain.

I think whoever told you that is pulling your leg The tags will use radio signals, so it makes no difference whether your glass is tinted or not.

Then that's a technology that sounds horribly likely to go wrong! Pretty much everywhere else in the world that uses tags on cars, it's a radio system, not an optical one.

Cut a lump out and replace with clear glass so that the tag can be picked up by the thingamebob machine! Or replace youre tinted windows!

I got bored after a few mins.

"The tints need to be removed for the area of the tag in order to read properly"

Now this will be fun
