    Did they use a light transmittance meter or did they just say its to dark it does look dark due to the colour of truck ?? When it comes to Australian regulations, standards, laws, rules and guides for vehicle window tinting it is commonly accepted to have a car window tint of no less than 35% Visible Light Transmission (VLT). Both 35% and 50% VLT are legally suitable for vehicle windows with no existing tint. Simply roll down your window halfway and then measure the tint with the meter. This is also the method that law enforcement uses to check car window tint percentages.Iwould ask your window tinter to measure your windows? keep your video's coming Shane 👍🚛

    Given the hot summers in Australia, the legal tint should be much darker.
    This keeps the driver's cabin cooler naturally.
    Also keeps the driver calmer. Lol

    2 things ,firstly even though it was a pain in the arse we swop out the windows for non tint ones before the inspection. Not spending time to remove it and then have it refitted. Secondly as we all know the government doesn’t want anything with more than 2 wheels on the road and they particularly hate us truckies on the road. We are the most over regulated industry in Australia .Personally Shane I would have defected the truck for being a pantyliner. 🤪

  • @jonnothetrucker
    @jonnothetrucker 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Also bud, good practice when loaded or empty, to back under just before your king pin locks in, wind your legs up, then back under and lock it in fully, helps keep your legs nice and straight 👍 just a friendly tip 😊
    Nothing wrong with the tint either I wouldn't think 🤔

  • @BamBamZ_Gaming
    @BamBamZ_Gaming 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Always check the pin mate, Tug test means nothing. Also probably a better procedure to wind the legs up an inch when the table takes the weight, hook up then tug test. This way you'll save landing landing gear/legs and if the pin didn't lock for any reason the trailer won't fall and smash the guards up ect. 👍🏽
    Might see ya round somewhere on the m1, call up and say gday. Keep it shiny side up cobb

    Personal, I don't think it's too dark at all! The tint in my car is a lot darker and it's passed rego for the last 7yrs it's been on. We live in a country with high rates of skin cancer so you could argue it's part of your work PPE! It's more about seeing the driver than the driver seeing out anyway, when you look from the outside in, it looks darker because the light is filtered, when you looking from the inside out, the visibility is much better. BUT, this raises the question of vehicles with the mirror tint, how can they be legal? I think they were just nit picking because they couldn't find anything else to do you for.

    Mate firstly I want to say I look forward to your posts keep them coming, as far as the window tint goes yep way to dark they are about 15% VLT that's what I have on my 4WD here in the territory been pulled over and the cops they don't really care up this end of the world you just out of luck going over the pits I'm heading south soon and really thinking about changing my tint as don't want a fine for being to dark, and yes mate it really effects driving at night not for cars but for pedestrians and push bikes without lights that why I put the windows down when required.

    @mikeplant9163 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    when you first showed us the truck you said it wasn't new . so unless the tint was put on in the last year it's passed inspection with it on before. the trouble is how much it affects your night driving. you know if you're comfortable with this, not us mate.

    Yes Shane they're a little dark but you could still see through them. I think they were a little too suspicious with your truck. They probably thought it was some sort of mafia like truck which it isn't and if they did think that I think they'll need their heads examined. Given how long ago this video was posted, things would've well and truly been sorted out by now as far as the tint issue goes.

    It was great to see what is involved in hooking up a trailer to the prime mover. I've never seen that before.
    Regarding tint, personally I think all window tints on vehicles should be banned. I know that they make it more comfortable in the eyes on a bright summer's day. I know the tint makes things a little cooler on a hot summer's day.
    There are two problems with tint.
    1) On a wet dark night it is much harder for the driver to see out of the vehicle.
    2) Under many conditions it is impossible to see the face of the driver in a tinted car. You cannot make eye contact. You cannot tell if they are looking at you, or have noticed you. It de-personalises the driving experience. If all drivers can see other humans in other cars, this tends to make them behave more humanely to others.

    • @weldmachine
      @weldmachine 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree in part, with your points of why NO Window Tint ??
      It does make it that little more difficult to see even from a Drivers point of view,
      As you mentioned Dark Wet Nights ??
      Definitely a Bonus in Summer.
      But it can be a bit of a Pain when Winter comes around ??
      The other point you made about Eye Contact ????
      This is a Big one for me when I occasionally ride a Motorcycle.
      I am Always Looking at the Drivers Eyes ??
      One car that does come to mind when thinking about Dark Tinted Windows ?? Chrysler 300
      ( more commonly referred to as the Mafia Car , LOL )
      I always see these cars especially with Extra Dark Tint.
      They definitely deserve the title Mafia Car ??
      Seems most are driven by Sus looking people too.
      ( my brother in law is one of them, 😄 )
      I know this might upset some Mafia Types who love these cars, but it's true.
      It's a bit like Volvo Drivers, a certain breed of person will drive either car ????

    Well that sucks. How picky are they usually when they do the inspection? The reason I ask is that we have a 12.5m tag axle coach/motorhome that will need annual inspections. We're in Qld., have a son in NSW so can get it registered in either state. Victoria, SA and WA don't need you get an annual inspection, even if we have a 22t GVM.

I guess they just turn a blind eye to it because there's nothing you can do about it - the actual glass is tinted from the factory it's not a film you can remove.

Factory privacy glass is in the region of 20% usually so the car technically fails from the factory but what's the point of the road authority failing it when the owner can't do anything about it.
