Then, as the bill was submitted for consideration, and the law on toning came into force, in Russia watched a huge number of car owners. Everyone was interested, what changes in the traffic regulations will be made by the new amendments to the law on toning, and how it will affect the ability to tune your iron horse. Many were also waiting for the deputies' decision on that, whether a tax will be introduced on certain types of tinting machines.
Now tinting cars is a very fashionable and practical solution, therefore, many hoped for a bill on toning hopes.
Toning of the car according to GOST
However, what is the problem? Why this action is limited by the law of toning? Everything is very simple. The point is, that excessive tinting is often the cause of road accidents. When drivers of cars with very dark toning get into a situation, when a car accident could theoretically occur, they respond to external stimuli at a slower rate.
Excessive toning does not allow you to see some details of the world around you, which distorts the perception of car drivers about the situation on the road and makes their reaction slower.
Therefore, this kind of tuning is regulated by traffic regulations, as well as GOST and a special law on tinting car glass.
Glass tinting
What car tinting is allowed
As of March 2016 year rules for tinting car glass are as follows:
- Any tinting of car glass is allowed, but, this rule applies only if, if the light transmission of the part is not less 75%.
- According to the law on toning, rear window of the vehicle, as well as the rear side it can be tinted glass on 100%.
- According to the law on toning, the car owner has the right to stick a transparent tinting film on the upper part of the windshield of the car in order to protect from the sun.
- Using mirror film, in accordance with the law on toning is prohibited in any form and form.
Norms of light transmission of car windows
These rules raise a number of questions for car owners. For example, everyone is interested, what is the maximum bandwidth of the light-shielding film, which can be glued to the top of the windshield.
When it comes to cars, then the width of the protective strip should not exceed 14 centimeters. However, it should be noted, that inspectors always measure the width of this strip in three places (so prescribed in the law on toning), and then consider the arithmetic mean of the three values.

The question of that is also quite common, whether the driver will be subject to sanctions under the toning law, if you cover the glass of the vehicle with film, light transmission which will be equal 70%. Unfortunately, probably, to get. This is due to the fact, that pure car windows themselves have a certain percentage of light transmission. Usually, it is from 95 to 97% percent. In accordance, after coating the glass with film, the light transmission coefficients of both materials are multiplied and make the coating more dark.
So if you don't want to, that you would be fined for violating the law on toning, always leave a margin of a few percent, when toning the car - it will definitely save you from not following the traffic rules.
That fact must also be taken into account, that most instruments for measuring light transmission, used by law enforcement officers, may give an error, the probability of which increases many times in the case of improper use. Therefore, traffic police officers, according to the law on toning, should produce a minimum 3 measurement in different parts of the glass, and then calculate the arithmetic mean.

Permission for tinting
Many car owners are very interested in obtaining a special permit for tinting a vehicle. You can see quite often, as cars drive through the streets, toning which is clearly not in accordance with the law. Information about such violators is immediately entered into the relevant information database.
However, a special permit for arbitrary tinting of the car can still be issued and obtained. Many car owners would even agree to pay a special tax, if only to get such a license, however, it is still useless.
According to the law on toning, this opportunity can be obtained only by employees of various government services, which during operation may require a vehicle with such characteristics. Yet, it is impossible for a civilian to obtain such a permit.
It is also worth noting, that a permit for unlimited tinting of windows can be obtained by a special purpose vehicle, but by no means the most ordinary car.

Sanctions for improper toning of the vehicle
IN 2016 Amendments to the technical regulations on the safety of wheeled vehicles and the RULES of the road were adopted and entered into force in, what, in particular, touched on several points, concerning toning. Including:
- for the use of tinting with low light transmission, too wide-protective strip on the windshield, as well as mirror toning the driver will have to pay a fine of 500 Russian rubles. This is also provided by the part 3 articles 12 Code of Administrative Offenses;
- for the use of toning film with very low light transmission, for the presence of an excessively wide sun strip on the windshield, as well as for repeated use of mirror tinting law enforcement officers had the right to remove numbers from any car. So, just "small", as the law on toning provided such punishment in the period from 1 July 2012 year and before 15 November 2014 year. This change was later completely repealed, and the law of toning became so, as before.

It should also be noted, what, according to the law on tinting of glasses, fine for violation of traffic rules and regulations on light transmission, the width of the strip on top of the glass, as well as the presence of a mirror film on the glass in any situation will be equal 500 rubles. This amount does not depend on the severity of the violation: for, who exceeded the norm by 1%, and for that, who - on 50%, the punishment will be identical.
Violation of the law is punishable by a fine
You can not worry about the removal of numbers and the ban on the operation of a vehicle in connection with the violation of the law on tinting - they completely stopped using two years ago.
Frequently asked questions
Drivers, who have already been charged with violating the law on tinting cars, trying to invent new ways out of the situation. As a result, many are interested in such issues, as, example:
- Will be considered, that I violated the law on toning and SDA, if you remove the film immediately after, how law enforcement officers stopped me? Unfortunately, will be. This is due to the fact, that penalties are imposed for that, that the driver was driving a vehicle with a high level of reflection of the windows. So, if you tear the film immediately after detention, the fact that you are driving an illegally toned car will still remain true.
Violation of the rules of car toning
- More serious punishments are possible, if you remove the film from the glass immediately after, as law enforcement officers will be fined. If you remove the illegal film from the glass, the cause of the offense will be automatically eliminated, therefore, the traffic police will not have any questions or complaints to you, not to mention the possibility of seizing vehicle numbers. However, if you ignore the requirement to remove excess toning, you may have serious problems in the future.
- Removable tinting of car glass can help? Theoretically - yes. However, it will not save you from a fine, if law enforcement officers record it on the glass of your vehicle. Nevertheless, if you have time to quickly pick it up and return the license plates to the glass, then the inspector will simply not be able to present anything to you due to the complete lack of evidence and will conclude, that law, allowing toning, was not violated.
- Is it possible to appeal the decision of the traffic police, if I'm sure, who did not break the rules? Of course, it is possible. And quite often there are situations, when the owner of the vehicle wins the case. Such appeals are conducted exclusively in court, therefore, it is advisable for you to start gathering evidence to defend yourself right at the place of your detention.
