What Does ?Legal Tint? Actually Mean?
In Victoria, ?legal tint? refers to how dark your window film can be while still meeting roadworthy and insurance standards. It?s measured by VLT ? Visible Light Transmission ? the percentage of light allowed through your windows.
Legal Window Tint Limits in Victoria
Here?s what?s allowed under Victorian law:
- Front side windows: 35% VLT minimum
- Rear and rear-side windows (passenger cars): 35% VLT
- Rear and rear-side windows (SUVs, vans, wagons): 20% VLT allowed behind the driver
- Windscreen tint strip (top only): Up to 10% VLT within top 10% of screen, no more than 70mm
? Anything darker may get you a defect notice, fine, or insurance issues if you?re in an accident.
Why It Matters (Even If You Like Dark Tint)
Illegal tint might look great... until you:
- Get pulled over or defected
- Fail your roadworthy
- Lose insurance coverage after a crash
