You can’t drive a car with tinted glass without permit — Police tells Nigerians

The Nigeria Police Force has emphasised the strictness of tinted, shaded, coloured, or darkened vehicle glasses.

A post on the Force’s X handle said anyone driving a vehicle with tinted, shaded, coloured, or darkened windows must obtain a valid permit.

The statement reveals 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 statement reads:

“So here’s the gist:
“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.
“Section 3 of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act says:
“You’ve got just 14 days from the date of purchase or import to replace those glasses—Yes, including “factory fitted “, “unless you’ve got a permit!
“Driving tinted? You need a permit.
“Walking tinted? You’re good.
“Two different vibes. Two different laws.
“Want to stay cool and compliant?
