Etihad Pilot Arrested for tinted windows.

[etihadceo]

Hi Guys, Actually this IS the truth. The car in question was fitted with street legal VCool of 0% (which stops heat and harmful UV rays, as per VCool website) by the garage who sold it to him. They used VCool to fit the stuff and he was told it was legal. The law changed 3 months ago but nobody seems to know that NOTHING is allowed now.
The car has been through 4 re registrations and the last one was one month ago. Still the Abu Dhabi police felt it necessary to fine and have the “car” impounded not the person for 30 days. This is at the discretion of the guy involved to decide when he pays the fine and takes the car in. It is going to go further!
By the way 30% is only for the side windows and this fine, apparently is for ALL not just expats
I know because I know this person very very well!
CLEAR tint is not legal on front windscreens, please believe me or you too will be out of pocket by 10,000ued (1500 Euros, 2000$)
What is wrong with a warning like you would get in most countries with a week or month to get it sorted?
