KHUJAND, February 3, 2010, Asia-Plus — The Sughd traffic police department has issued tinted glass permits to 248 car owners since the beginning of this year, the Sughd traffic police department chief Mirzo Safarov said in an interview with Asia-Plus for a total of 523,250 somoni since the beginning of this year.
“To get tinted glass permit a car owner has to pay a fee of 2,275 and for breaking the car window tinting standard a car owner will have to pay a fine of 4,375 somoni,” said Safarov, said noting that six car owners in the province have been fined so far for breaking the car window tinting standards.
We will recall that amendments requiring penalty fees for breaking the car window tinting standards came into effect on January 1, 2010. Under the current regulations, at least 75 per cent of light must pass through the driver’s side windows and vehicles may have tint on the windshield as dark as 25 percent, windows to the immediate left and right of the driver — 30 percent, and rear windows – 30. If car owners want to have other tinted glass parameters they have to obtain tinted glass permit.
