DAILY LAW TIPS by Onyekachi Umah,Esq.(Tip 253)

“DO CARS WITH FACTORY FITTED TINTED GLASSES NEED PERMIT FROM POLICE”.

It is a crime to own or use or drive a vehicle with tinted glass without a permit in any part of Nigeria. This applies to everyone; including politicians, celebrities, thugs and security officers. Tinted glass must not be dark, so it includes shaded glass, coloured glass and even glass covered with advertisement. A glass is tinted so far as persons or objects in the vehicle are not visible.

Permit for tinted glass is issued only on 2 grounds/reasons; Security or Health. It does not matter that your vehicle was manufactured and imported with tinted glass or that you bought it in Nigeria from someone that has a permit for tinted glass.

Permit for tinted glass is not issued to Vehicles rather to individuals and as such are personal and not transferable. Legally speaking nobody should ever be issued a permit for tinted glass just because his car came with factory fitted tinted glasses. The law expects you not to bring into Nigeria or buy a vehicle with tinted glass if you have no security or medical challenge.
Owning or using a vehicle with tinted glass but without a permit is an offence punishable with imprisonment for not more than 6 months and or fine of #2,000.00.

My authorities are sections 1, 2, 4 and 6 of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 1991.
