Gardaí in Kilkenny have warned local road users about the possible implications of illegal window tinting after intercepting a driver last Saturday.

Local gardaí intercepted the vehicle after identifying that the car was using 'a heavy tint film that in low light would endanger other road users'.

A Section 20 prohibition order was made and the driver of the car was required to rectify the material defect (illegal tint, decreasing visibility) before proceeding.placeholder image

His compliance led to his free passage and Garda discretion followed.

"Keep it simple," is the message from local gardaí going forward.
