i think ,normal car glass without tint already not 100% vlt

so even follow jpj spec tint, final vlt will be below the spec. does jpj have a "range" of vlt?

You're right!

This was my Puspakom report for a Perodua Kenari.
Front - no tint
Sides - Clear security film.

Results:
HDPN- 78% HDPN S.KANAN- 68% HDPN S.KIRI- 68%

So best to remove tints before inspections or high chance of failing with any tinting film.

So the front windscreen without any tint is already VLT 78%? That's something new to me. If that's the case, theoretically only a VLT 92% tint will work to get the VLT to 70%. In other words, any tint that is 91% or lower on your Kenari will cause the VLT to dip below 70% and thus fail the Puspakom or JPJ roadblock test.

Bought a 2016 HRV from a neighbour few years ago, tore off the tint from front windscreen, puspakom test 76%.

No point installing any tint if worried about roadblock.

it was mentioned RM2k fine or jail, so if they take it seriously this time I presume a lot of vehicles will not pass in a JPJ roadblock.

That's the reason I am asking if anyone here has experienced his/her vehicle being tested in a JPJ roadblock. I will surely not put any tint on the front windscreen if JPJ is going all out on the operasi.

Personally, feel JPJ not going to jail 90% vehicle owners all failing front windscreen test.

All my cars range 50-60% for front after installing good tint.
More important to me is night visibility, clarity and comfort.

PETALING JAYA: The road transport department (JPJ) has warned drivers of private vehicles against violating regulations on tinting their windows, saying that they may face a fine or jail time.

JPJ said that the new set of regulations, gazetted under the Motor Vehicles Rules 1991 in 2019, stipulate that the visible light transmittance for a vehicle’s front windscreen should be at least 70% and at least 50% for the front side windows. However, it said the rear side windows and rear windscreen may allow for 0% visible light transmittance.

Stay up-to-date by following FMT's Telegram channel
“Drivers who violate these regulations may be fined up to RM2,000 upon conviction or imprisoned for a period of time not exceeding six months for a first offence,” it said in a statement.

For subsequent convictions, drivers can be either fined up to RM4,000 or jailed for up to 12 months.

JPJ has issued a total of 108,428 traffic violation notices related to tinted windows since 2019.

According to JPJ, individuals who require tinted windows for safety or health reasons can apply for approval via the JPJ portal.

With all this talk about JPJ enforcement, referring to this news I presume JPJ has started operation already and over 100k people have been given the RM2k fine? Nobody here got the fine?

I read in another news (forgotten which one), it says that..

1) initial compound is rm300. but pay early will get reduction.

2) if failing to pay will get summon to court

3) once convicted, then get fine rm2k or jail term. subsequent offence is rm4k and jail term.

4) also, jpj got tolerance of 10% variance on tint reading before issuing compound.
so, you are not getting rm2k fine immediately.

looking good, is the 10% variance subjective to each roadblock personnel?

I would just pay the rm300 saman.
Regardless of what tint u put, when comes to puspakom inspection, sure gotta cabut the FWS tint + the FSW ones as well. Might as well get the tint that u want that protects yr dashboard, your eyes and yr skin.

Thanks, so you read in the news it is RM300 with discount if paying early. So the information in the article of RM2k fine and RM4k subsequently as reported is fake?

So has anyone here got the fine in real life? Nobody? I wonder where jpj set up the road block and how frequently. If they put up road block say every month, pay RM150 or 300 every month?

I kene last time but on HID lights for JPJ. Straight give Surat for Inspection at JPJ with dateline maximum day need to attend. So went to JPJ Wangsa Maju for inspection with their Technician, approved, and get another approval letter, send to counter and pay rm300 iinm summon.

That the last time i meet JPJ roadblock, back in 2014. Until now no more

I see, thanks for the response. So I goes it is Jpj roadblock where they issued surat for inspection at jpj at the roadblock for HID lights? What about tinted windscreen? They didn't check the windscreen or the roadblock is just to check on hid lights?

So in your case it is RM300 for hid light and not RM150. I presume the hid light fixed on your car is too bright and after inspection at puspakom and paying the RM300 fine you have changed the hid light to the approved type? Any info on tinted windscreen as my concern is on the tint only. Thanks.
