    humm how did he test your windows.. here we have the same rule minimum 70% light must come tru.. but as they say they cant test the windows.. so everybody that gets stopped with tinted front windows get a fine.. (unless the tint is in the glass it self)

    Whether you are pulled over/stopped totally depends on who you are.

    2 prime examples:

    1) Most police officers, and especially the "Road Policing" (the Traffic) officers don't like neds in their souped-up Saxo's and Corsa's - so generally speaking they'll be more likely to be pulled over.

    2) If you're a celebrity/footballer, you seem to be immune/exempt from the legislation relating to window tints.
    How many footballers have you seen (or should that be, not seen) because they have illegal tints all round ?
    But what happens to them? Exactly...... hee haw !!! Nowt.

    vosa are nothing to do with the pretend police (traffic officers)
    they are the real jobs worths from the vehicle operators standards agency,they pull alot of trucks over and do full inspections at the side of the road,dip your fuel,test your windows etc.... they dish out defect sheets which mean you cant drive your vehicle until its fixed.

    oh yeah of course cause the Traffic Officers are part of the Highways Agency aren't they? my bad, just remembered.

    Can VOSA actually pull you over or would they need a police officer to pull you or flag you down?

    lol I'd probably use some universal sign language if you know what I mean.

    Am I legally obliged to stop for them or would I be within my rights to keep driving?

    Yes you are legally bound to do as they say..
    Its an arrestable offence to not do as they say

    When you're driving any type of occupational vehicle, you may be asked to stop by a police officer or a Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) enforcement support officer. They can stop both public service vehicles and heavy goods vehicles. Both have the power to carry out spot checks on your vehicle and issue prohibitions if they are necessary.
    A VOSA officer will pull you over in the same way a police officer would. VOSA officers wear yellow visibility jackets that clearly display the VOSA logo and they will always carry an official VOSA warrant. They will also use vehicles marked with a black and yellow print on the side and a VOSA logo on the bonnet.
    What if I fail to stop?
    Under the Road Traffic Act, failing to stop when a uniformed inspector orders you to do so is an offence. The details of the incident will be noted, and later you will be interviewed and you may face either court action and/or a report passed on to the Traffic Commissioner.
    @diet... Arrestable offence...? You're showing your age!
