Cops flag red to Trinamool MP Satabdi Roy’s car for tinted glasses,driver fined Rs 100

The move was a part of the Traffic Police’s ongoing drive against cars with tinted and film-coated glasses. Traffic officials have been ordered to file cases against errant drivers under Clause 100 of the Central Motor Vehicles Act and charge a fine of Rs 100 under Section 177 of the Motor Vehicles Act,said the officer.

According to rules laid down in the Act,car owners have to ensure that glasses fitted to their cars are at least 70 per cent visible.

“It is important to prevent crimes inside moving cars. In several cases,it has been found that terrible crimes are committed inside cars covered with black glasses. A similar incident happened recently when a driver robbed a student inside a car,” said a senior officer.
