The Nigeria Police Force has underscored the stringent regulations regarding tinted, shaded, colored, or darkened glasses on vehicles.
A post on the Force’s Facebook page disclosed that anyone driving a vehicle with tinted, shaded, coloured, or darkened windows must obtain a valid permit.
The Force further revealed that the law gives a 14-day window, starting from the date of purchase or importation of the vehicle for the replacement of such glass unless the driver secures official approval.
The post titled, “So here’s the gist, read, “If you’re walking or biking under the sun with your tinted shades on—no wahala. Rock that look!
“But if you’re driving a car with tinted, shaded, coloured, or darkened glass, the rules are different.
