Having one in the car and having one switched on are 2 different things though

The reason why they didn't want taxi's having blacked out windows was a legit reason but the cost to the drivers would have been enormous. Some cars are sold with the windows already tinted, it would be extra cost to those drivers that already have tht licensed vehicle on the road to have those windows taken out and clear ones put in.

The only way they can get round it is by telling anyone that wants to license a new vehicle that it can't have blacked out windows before they purchase it.
