Manchester City stars fined for 'too dark' window tints

Five Manchester City stars were fined by police who spotted their vehicles' tinted windows were too dark as they arrived at training.

Shay Given, Kolo Toure, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Patrick Vieira and Stephen Ireland were all given £30 fixed penalty notices on Wednesday.

They were caught out by police and the Vehicle Operator Services Agency (VOSA) at the Carrington complex car park.

Each player was told to wind down the offending window until it was fixed.

But it is believed club officials arranged for a company to come and correct the tints during training.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the fines were handed out on Wednesday morning.

"An officer from GMP's Road Policing Unit, working with representatives from VOSA, stopped a number of cars on Carrington Lane, Trafford," a spokesman said.

"The cars were stopped and found to have illegally tinted windows.

"The drivers were issued with fixed penalty notices and prohibition notices."

A variety of companies can tint windows of vehicles to add privacy for the owner.

By law, front driver and passenger windows must allow 70% of light through and the windscreen 75%.

They'd earned the £30 in the time it took the Police to explain the Law to them.

Bet they've all been redone already.

Ha ha, that's what I thought.

What a fucking pointless exercise, have the police really not got better things to do with their time!?

Just like the fact they probably park wherever they want as the fine is short change for them what a pointless fine really.

it's not surprising...SWP has been shaded by AJ for a few months now, so clearly someone needed to drop the hammer on his ass.

I'm surprised that RSC wasn't ticketed as well...he's been left in the dark for a while now.

cheers

Oh, fucking shut up.

I've never known a Blue with such a low opinion of his own. All you do is mock, can't rememer the last time I saw you offer your view on something without mocking someone else. You're a sad case.

Belt up, cheer up and get a fucking life.

Your character assassination attempts are pathetic and I'm not rising to your childish bait.

People here can see what a bully you are. I'd suggest next time you try and embarrass me do it in a PM so the rest of the board doesn't have to witness this shite.

They do things like this every now and then when they get a bit short of funds - once in a while they'll go along our street when it's dark and give everyone an on-the-spot fine if they're parked with their lights off and facing oncoming traffic. I remember when they used to go out and catch criminals...
