Fine for toning in 2012

Toning for drivers is popular for many reasons. First, it creates a comfortable atmosphere in the cabin, because through the shaded glass you can safely look at the road on a bright sunny day, without squinting or wearing safety goggles. In addition, it partially prevents the heating of the cabin and the burning of panels and covers. Secondly, it allows you to save your personal spaces, because passing people will not look through the darkened glass, they will not be able to see the driver, passengers, valuables inside the car. And, thirdly, the car with toning looks stylish and modern.

What is a sin to conceal, often the glass is obscured by taxi drivers to hide violations - not fastened belts, transportation of children without a special chair and others. Of course, for the sake of one trip, no one will apply a toning, but when such trips are systematic, it very much helps the driver and helps to hide from the watchful eye of the policeman. However, it is necessary to shade the windows with the mind, so as not to run into a penalty for toning.

And the punishment is now quite substantial. If at the beginning of 2012 the Inspector of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate issued a fine for tinting a maximum of 500 rubles, now he can remove the numbers from the car. The numbers will be returned to the owner as soon as he remedies the violation. By law, this is given a day from the moment of prohibiting the operation of the car and drawing up a protocol. And if the film can be broken at once, then the glass with a spray can be rearranged only in the service center. Five hundred rubles in this case, you still have to pay, but you can save the numbers.

How to avoid a fine for toning? First, you need to install it correctly. Tinted rear windows are not regulated, but for the front is strictly limited. In particular, the windscreen should pass at least 75% of the light, and the front side windows - 70%. If we consider that most new cars are produced with already slightly darkened glasses, then even thin light film can be used to get a fine for tinting. To aggravate the situation can dust and dirt on the glass - they are able to absorb up to 10% of the light. Therefore, before applying any coatings it is necessary to ventilate the throughput of the glass. Shade the rear window can only by providing the car with two rear-view mirrors.

The original way out is removable toning. Penalty for her driver, of course, will receive, but it can be put in place again 100 meters after the traffic police station.

If there is no removable toning, and you do not really want to remove it, you can try to "talk" to the inspector. First, recall that the law permits tinting, which does not exceed the GOST standards under number 5727-88. If the norms are not violated, then there is no reason to pay a fine. A violation still needs to be proven. This can only be done by a technician at a stationary post, using special authorized devices. And only if the employee is in place, the device is available and the documents for it in order, you can proceed to identify violations. In addition, all measurements should take place under certain conditions, otherwise they can be recognized as invalid. In particular, the temperature of the air at the time of testing should fall within the range -10 ... + 40 degrees, pressure - 80-100 kPa, relative humidity - 40-80%.

Measurements are carried out in 3 points of the glass and the arithmetic mean is deduced. If the device showed 78% at one point of the windshield and 70% in the other, then there is no reason for a fine. Often, an inspector who has requested payment of a penalty agrees to let the driver "in peace", if all the required conditions can not be met. Another thing is that such conversations take away the strength and time, and few will like to argue with the inspectors every other day. Therefore, in order not to pay a penalty for toning, you can simply limit yourself to light shading within the limits of the norm.
