Drivers riding around with illegal window tint and licence plate obstructions has lead to hundreds of charges following a police crackdown north of Brampton.<\/p>\n

Over two weekends in February and March, officers with the Caledon OPP detachment were deployed in a blitz on \u201cvehicle anonymity,\u201d which includes offences for overly tinted windows, licence plate violations, and other infractions.<\/p>\n

Some 1,111 charges were laid during the eight-day traffic blitz, with nearly 750 of those charges related to vehicle anonymity, police say.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important that vehicles do not have dark window tint or licence plate obstructions as they directly impact road safety, visibility, and motorist accountability,\u201d the OPP said in a release.<\/p>\n

In Ontario, vehicles are not allowed to have any coating or covering on passenger windows to the left or the right of the driver\u2019s seat that block more than 70 per cent of light. After-market tint is also not allowed on front windshields, and drivers can be fined $110 or more for obstructed windows.<\/p>\n

As for licence plates, every plate needs to be kept free from dirt and obstruction. Plates must also be mounted on vehicles so that the entire plate, including the numbers, is plainly visible at all times and not obscured or obstructed by spare tires, bumper bars or any part of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Police are reminding drivers to obey licence plate and tinting rules or face fines. For more information, visit www.ontario.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n
