Sorry , wrong categorie , shouldn't be in new members bit !
Pretty much the same as here then! I think you'll find that the tinting that they refer to is where aftermarket film has been applied to the driver's and front passenger's door windows (and if anyone is stupid enough, to the windscreen). Before I retired from the Police in 2011, on occasions we would check such tinting using purpose made (and calibrated) devices. You'd be surprised how appalling the visibility was through some of the windows as a result of being aftermarket tinted.
As a rule, the above mentioned windows generally already have the maximum tint allowed when they leave the manufacturers. There is no legislation covering any of the other windows. If there was, it would make vans illegal.

The proposals look sensible. Hands free phones are stil very dangerous and need to be banned.
Tinted windows must reduce visibility but the reduction in the alcohol blood level for young drivers is unlikely to make any difference as it is them ignoring the current law that is the problem.

Always enjoy my drives through France cannot say I've noticed anything different .mind i keep to the speed limits which seem fast enough anyway and frankly cannot see any reason to use a phone whilst still driving.nor for that matter the need for any more tint on windows than is deemed legal. I .don't see these new laws effecting me or normal motorist for that matter from still having a pleasurable drive through France....
