With thousands of Brits adding the latest trend modifications to their cars, automotive experts at ATS Euromaster has highlighted 5 common car modifications that could lead to a hefty fine.
Drivers have been warned of the most common things you can modify about your car that can end up with you in a sticky situation with the law.
Legally, the front windscreen must let through at least 75 per cent of light for vehicles first used on April 1, 1985 or later. This is to target modified illegal exhaust systems and to help identify road users who break the law by revving their engines unnecessarily. Although there are no laws prohibiting the fitting of vehicle under glow, there are some strict rules on the types of lights you can display and where, according to the The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989.This can be easily avoidable by keeping lights muted, avoiding any lights that can confuse drivers and not a prohibited colour. However, if ignored, you could face a £50 fine or be reported to court.
This includes any excessive window stickers or decals that may be too large or incorrectly placed and can obstruct the driver's view.
