Co Armagh farmer taken to court over Toyota Hilux window tint offence
A Co Armagh farmer has been taken to court over the level of tinting on a window of a Toyota Hilux.
The court heard the vehicle, which was being driven in the Templepatrick area, had a light transmission of 11 percent when the legal required transmission is 70 percent.
Cameron Dynes, aged 23, whose address was listed as Blackwatertown Road, Blackwatertown, was driving the Hilux with "heavily tinted windows" on January 21 this year.
A prosecutor told Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, the "front driver's window was tested and found to have 11 percent transmission of light. The required transmission is 70 percent".
A guilty plea was entered to a charge of being unable to have a full view of the road.
District Judge Nigel Broderick wondered how the defendant was "even able to see out of it".
It is a fine-only offence and the defendant was fined £300.
