REFLECTIVE MIRROR WINDOWS ON CARS MAY BE BANNED
Proposals are in hand to ban the use of "mirror window" reflective
material on vehicles, the Commissioner for Transport revealed today.
The proposed ban, which is to be made under an amendment to
the Road Traffic (Construction and Use) Regulations, will not however
affect tinted glass installed by some manufacturers.
The Commissioner warned motorists that reflective material of
the one-way mizrce window type should not be used on windscreens and
windows of motor cars,
"This material has a dazzling effect that can cause accidents
if the sun is reflected into the eyes of another driver," he said,
"It also has the effect of preventing anybody outside from
seeing the interior of the vehicle and, although there is nothing wrong
in having privacy, vehicles treated in this way could be used by criminals
to avoid detection."
